The Blanton's collection of European paintings is astounding for its breadth and depth. The beautiful new gallery spaces only draw attention to that fact even more. With the grand opening of the new Blanton, many of the museum's 300 European paintings, predominantly Italian Renaissance and Baroque and principally from the Suida-Manning Collection, are on view for the very first time. Highlights include works by canonical masters from Sebastiano del Piombo, Parmigianino and Veronese, to Rubens, Claude Lorrain, and Guercino; and many other works equally as impressive as these by the masters Giulio Cesare Amidano, Orazio Riminaldi, and Giuseppe Passeri, illuminate the history of European art.
