City and Country: Selections from the Department of Drawings and Prints

Featuring a variety of works spanning the seventeenth to the twentieth century, this installation touches on the theme of city and country. It includes recently acquired Netherlandish landscape drawings as well as British and Swedish landscapes from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.  Other sections highlight French Neoclassical drawings and works by French women artists of the same period, with a particular focus on the relationships between these artists, their materials and techniques, and their participation in the French Revolution. City and Country also features self-portraits across time, scenes of city dwellers and urban window-shoppers, and a selection of British propaganda posters and trade cards from World War II in commemoration of the eightieth anniversary of the war’s end.

The exhibition runs until September 2, 2025 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art 1000 5th Ave. NY NY 10028.
