Who needs cat videos when you have Victorian paintings?

Henriëtte Ronner-Knip made feline curiosity a fine art. In "The Guitar Lesson," circa 1880s, a family of cats turns music practice into mischief, with one kitten peeking through the guitar’s sound hole.

As cats became cherished household companions, her paintings captured the personalities that still captivate us today.

What earned William Glackens the nickname “The American Renoir”?

His admiration for Renoir found expression in luminous color and lively brushwork. Painted circa 1925, Southern France brings that influence to a sunlit hillside, where terracotta rooftops nestle among Mediterranean greenery.

This oil on canvas board belongs to his celebrated French landscapes and passed through the artist’s estate and the collection of his son, Ira Glackens.

What did Francis Picabia paint before he helped shape Dada?

In 1905, his subject was sunlight along the River Loing. In The Effect of Sun on the Banks of the Loing, expressive brushstrokes capture light filtering through green and gold foliage, with a small figure in a boat lending quiet human presence to the scene.

This oil on canvas reveals Picabia’s early Impressionist period, before his experiments with other styles made reinvention a defining feature of his career.
