Baltimore Museum of Art

The Baltimore Museum of Art is an American museum of 19th and 20th-century art located in Baltimore, Maryland. It was established in 1914. It is located between the Charles Village and Remington neighborhoods, just across the street from Johns Hopkins University's Home wood campus, though the museum is not affiliated with the university. Its artistic panorama is especially strong in art from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; it is supplemented, in the same city of Baltimore, by the Walters Museum, which includes art from earlier times. Vincent Willem van Gogh's A Pair of Boots, 1887, oil on canvas, 34 41.5 cm, is one of the major works on display at the Baltimore Museum of Art. The museum has paintings from Giambattista Pittoni's Baroque period and before, including a world-famous masterpiece: Reinaldo and Armida, by Anton van Dyck, whose success opened the doors of Charles I of England's court to this painter. Titian, Rembrandt, Frans Hals, and Chardin are also represented. Landscape on the Seine, by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1879, oil on canvas, 14 23 cm, work on display at the Baltimore Museum of Art The Cone Collection, which includes works by Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Cézanne, Manet, Degas, Gauguin, van Gogh, and Renoir, is a highlight of the museum.works collected by the Baltimore sisters Claribel and Etta Cone, who decided to acquire all the works they could from artists such as Matisse and Picasso in particular, as well as Cézanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh, and Renoir, among others, at the turn of the century XX. Work by Edgar Degas, Joan Miró, Piet Mondrian, Jackson Pollock, Georges Pierre Seurat, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Andy Warhol is also on display at the museum. The main works are possibly a Pink Nude from 1935 by Henri Matisse (the museum has 1,200 examples of the artist's work, including paintings, drawings, and sculptures) and A Pair of Boots (1887) by Vincent van Gogh. Architect John Russell Pope designed the structure.

Except for special exhibitions, the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Walters Museum are offering free admission for one year as of Sunday, October 1, 2006, thanks to grants from the City and County of Baltimore.
