Intently interested in the expression of human emotion, Rembrandt often used himself as his own model in his early years as an independent master in Leiden. Here, in a small and freely painted work that has just entered our collection, Rembrandt appears in the guise of a soldier, relaxed and engaging the viewer with a laugh.

As one of Italy's leading altarpiece painter in the late 1500s, Federico Barocci exerted a profound influence on his contemporaries.

Here, he used different colored chalks against colored paper to create a dynamic composition of a single head. He placed the boy's head diagonally on the page, and gave it a sense of forward motion by heavily applying light-colored chalks on the face.

Barocci made this tender drawing as a study for the head of the infant Ascanius, son of Aeneas, in his only secular narrative painting, Aeneas's Flight from Troy . Lightly drawn studies for the figure of Ascanius cover the verso.

Obstacles and difficulties that repel mediocre men are a necessity and nourishment to genius.
- Théodore Géricault , born today in 1791

Despite about three years of studio training, Géricault was largely self-taught. He copied paintings in the Louvre and traveled to Rome, where he discovered Michelangelo's works and the exuberance of Baroque art.

This portrait was made as a study for his most famous painting, The Raft of the Medusa , made in 1819 and now in the Louvre http://bit.ly/15vOnqo . Géricault captured the man's character with great sympathy and spontaneity; his watery eyes do not focus on anything outside the canvas but appear to express an internal torment.

There is a long, interdependent relationship between photography and architecture . Here, some examples from William Henry Fox Talbot , Roger Fenton , Louis-Émile Durandelle , and Eugène Atget .

In an exhibition currently at the Getty Center, In Focus: Architecture , the subject is examined through a selection of works from the Museum's collection. See http://www.getty.edu/art/exhibitions/focus_architecture/

Peer through some of the windows featured in our current photography exhibition. From Eugene Atget's perspective of a Parisian hairdresser's shop to Hippolyte Bayard's view of a construction worker to Gertrude Käsebier's silhouette of a young women praying, At the Window highlights the ways photographers have explored their medium by turning to the window as a framing device or conceptual tool.

Not only a wonderful museum, but also beautiful architecture and scenic views of the hills and blue skies. Still can't believe admission is free; you only pay to park. The art collection is very good and curated well. A must see!
