Landscape Art Exchange, 1800–1920

The Museum of Art at Tsinghua University hosts an exhibition called Landscape Art Exchange, 1800–1920. The exhibition consists of fifty works of American artists who traveled around Europe in the XIX century. The paintings are grouped into four categories: landscape and national identity; tourists, students and expatriates; American artists and French impressionism; landscapes of modern times.

These works demonstrate how the art of England, the Netherlands, Germany, France and Italy influenced American landscape paintings, which depict features of North American landscapes in a magnificent narrative style with natural geographic charm. The exhibition includes seven works from the Terra Foundation collection.
