Watercolors in the Porcelain Gallery: Flower and Still Life Painters

RISD Museum
Watercolors in the Porcelain Gallery: Flower and Still Life Painters
Opens Tuesday, September 1, Ongoing

Due to the remarkable generosity of an anonymous donor, The RISD Museum has one of the finest collections of 18th- and 19th-century British watercolors in this country. Rotating exhibitions of watercolors from this rarely-seen collection are on view in the Museum's Porcelain Gallery, home to an outstanding group of 18th-century figural ceramics donated by Miss Lucy Truman Aldrich in 1937. Now on view are works by British artists who specialized in painting flowers, fruits, birds and their nests. This subject matter appealed to both professional and amateur watercolorists, including a number of female artists.
