Some of the greatest European painters of the nineteenth century are
united for the first time in over two centuries in this major exhibition
that investigates the artistic exchange between France and Britain during
the period of High Romanticism. More than 150 spectacular oil paintings
and watercolors are on view including works by artists such as Ingres,
Constable, Bonington, Delacroix, Turner, and Géricault.
Organized by Tate Britain in collaboration with The Minneapolis Institute
of Arts and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this exhibition is curated
by Patrick Noon, the Patrick & Aimee Butler Curator of Paintings
at The Minneapolis Institute of Arts. The Minneapolis viewing of Crossing
the Channel is supported in part by a grant from the National Endowment
for the Arts and by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts
and the Humanities.
A fully illustrated catalogue is available by visiting the Museum Shop
at The Minneapolis Institute of Arts or by calling the shop toll free,
