Caravaggio: The Supper at Emmaus

October 10, 2009 - January 31, 2010
The Art Institute of Chicago, 111 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60603-6404, United States

This is an extremely rare opportunity to view firsthand one of the most highly regarded paintings by one of the most influential Western artists of all time. There are very few paintings by Caravaggio in American museums, and none that can rival this painting in its immediate impact. The Supper at Emmaus, painted in 1601 for a Roman nobleman, comes from the outset of a new, mature phase of the master’s career in which he treated great religious subjects with uncompromising realism, while at the same time employing his trademark contrasts of light and dark to great dramatic effect. In this revelatory image, two of Christ’s disciples have just recognized that the stranger at their table is none other than Christ himself, reappearing to them after his death and Resurrection.

Matisse: The Thousand and One Nights

November 21, 2009 - January 24, 2010
Carnegie Museum of Art; 4400 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15213-4080, United States

Matisse was 81 when he created the colorful and exuberant The Thousand and One Nights of 1950, with its fanciful magic lamps, dancing plant forms, and hearts. The design of this work was inspired by Scheherazade, the narrator of the Arabian Nights, a centuries-old Middle Eastern epic tale. The large paper cutout in the museum’s collection is a visitor favorite, but because of its fragile nature it can only be on view for a limited time.
