International Research Sparks Imagination
Cornell’s European Art Educates U.S. Audiences
Loaned by the Johnson Museum of Art, Charles François Daubigny’s painting Fields in the Month of June returned to France for the Musée d’Orsay’s 2024 exhibition, Paris 1874: Inventing Impressionism. Cornell’s painting marks a watershed moment in the birth of French Impressionism, according to the exhibit’s curators.
The artwork traveled on to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, for the American leg of the joint exhibit. The transatlantic exhibition advanced the public’s understanding of the influential and beloved Impressionism movement and shared Cornell’s pivotal work of art with one million visitors in Europe and the United States.
