Virtual Tour Third Floor: Brittingham Gallery V
Like Brittingham Gallery IV, Gallery V is dedicated to the display of the 19th-century collection. It differs from Gallery IV in that its works are generally from the latter part of the century and are less academic in orientation. There are exceptions, such as the delicate Young Girl with a Basket of Apples by the Frenchman Adolphe-William Bouguereau and the Scottish Lovers by the Victorian painter Daniel Maclise. Lady in a Shawl by the American expatriate Charles Sprague Pearce is a crossover between the academic and a more impressionistic approach to painting.
Among the paintings to be found in this gallery are Etretat by Eugene Boudin, Scene at Fleury, France by Walter Griffin, La Sambre a Charleroi by Maximillien Luce, and Misty Landscape by John H. Twachtman.
Nineteenth-century sculpture is represented by such pieces as Theseus Combating the Minotaur by Antoine-Louis Barye, Fauness by Auguste Rodin, and Nathan Hale by Frederic MacMonnies.
One of our most popular paintings is The Fall of Novgorod by Klaudii Vasilievich Lebedev, dated 1891. Its celebration of this city's heroic defense against the imperialistic Muscovites caused it to be viewed by the Russians of the early 20th century as a prefiguration of the social changes to come.
