NEW YORK.-The New Galleries for 19th- and Early 20th-Century European Paintings and Sculpture just opened to the public on December 4 with renovated rooms and 8,000 square feet of additional gallery space—the H. J. Heinz II Galleries—to showcase works from 1800 through the early 20th century. The renovated and expanded galleries feature all of the Museum’s most loved 19th-century paintings by artists such as Cézanne, Manet, Monet, Renoir and Van Gogh, as well as major early-modern works by Bonnard, Vuillard, Matisse, Picasso, and many others. Also newly on view: the fully assembled Wisteria Dining Room, a French Art Nouveau interior designed shortly before World War I that is the only complete example of its kind in the United States; Henry Lerolle’s large painting The Organ Rehearsal (a church interior of 1885); a group of newly acquired 19th-century landscape oil sketches; and a selection of rarely exhibited paintings by an international group of artists.
