Metropolitan Museum of Art - MET, New York
'Splendor and Eroticism in Imperial Prague' examines the Spranger's remarkable career through a selection of his rare paintings, drawings, and etchings. 'El Greco in New York' commemorates the four-hundredth anniversary of the death of El Greco.
Bartholomeus Spranger
The first major exhibition devoted to Bartholomeus Spranger (1546–1611), a fascinating artist who served a cardinal, a pope, and two Holy Roman Emperors, this exhibition will examine Spranger's remarkable career through a selection of his rare paintings, drawings, and etchings, most of which will be on loan from international museums and private collections. Spranger emerged as one of the most prominent artists at the court of Rudolf II in Prague and the most significant Northern Mannerist artist of his generation. Adding a unique dimension to the exhibition will be works by artists who helped shape Spranger's artistic horizon.

El Greco
in New York
To commemorate the 400th anniversary of the death of El Greco
(Domenikos Theotokopoulos, 1541-1614), this special collaboration
will bring together all of the artist's paintings in The Metropolitan
Museum of Art's collection, the finest outside the Museo del Prado in
Madrid, and display them with six loans from the Hispanic Society of
America. During the same period, New York's Frick Collection, whose
works by this artist cannot be lent, will exhibit its three El Greco
pictures together for the first time. On view at the Metropolitan
Museum beginning November 4, 2014, El Greco in New York
will be, in effect, a mini-retrospective of the artist, with the nine
paintings from the Metropolitan Museum and six from the Hispanic Society
of America spanning El Greco's entire career, from his arrival in
Venice in 1567, through his move to Rome in 1570 and his long residence
in Toledo, Spain, from 1577 until his death in 1614.
The exhibition is made possible by Northern Trust.
El Greco's religious paintings, portraits, and The
View of Toledo, a masterpiece of the Metropolitan
Museum's collection, will make this presentation a unique
experience. Few Old Master painters have exercised such a profound
influence on modern art as has El Greco, one of the most original
artists of the European tradition.
Exhibition Credits
El Greco in New York is organized by John Pope-Hennessy Chairman of the
Department of European Paintings, and Walter Liedtke, Curator in the
Department of European Paintings, both at the Metropolitan Museum.
