Last chance to see "Gabriel Metsu 1629-1667"

CLOSING SUNDAY   Gabriel Metsu, 1629-1667 Through July 24, 2011 East Building, Ground Floor Gabriel Metsu (1629–1667) is one of the most important Dutch genre painters of the mid-17th century. His ability to capture ordinary moments of life with freshness and spontaneity was matched only by his ability to depict materials with an unerring truth to nature. Although his career was relatively short, Metsu enjoyed great success as a genre painter, but also for his religious scenes, still lifes, and portraits. Featuring some 35 paintings, this exhibition will be the first monographic show of Metsu's work ever mounted in the United States. www.nga.gov/exhibitions/2011/metsu/metsu_brochure.pdf (Exhibition Brochure, PDF 388K) www.nga.gov/exhibitions/metsuinfo.htm (Exhibition Information) For more information visit www.nga.gov/exhibitions Join us on Facebook Follow us on Twitter Watch our videos on ArtBabble
