点评:Never expected Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art to be that good! The J.P.Morgan’s bequest is phenomenal… and his collection is displayed not only in the magnificent hall that proudly bears his name, but literally in every room of this amazing museum.
The collections of Sevres porcelain and silver objects from different countries is second to none. It is hard to imagine how these elaborate pieces of art were even created. The details, the colors, the craftsmanship… superb in all respects.
The art and sculpture collections are also very impressive: the statuettes, vases, funerary items from the Ancient Greece and Rome, early Renaissance artwork, paintings by Donatello, Titian, Ribera, Salvatore Rosa, American art and furniture, and stellar examples of Impressionism, Post Impressionism, and Surrealism.
The building itself is absolutely perfect for housing such a precious collection of word treasures and the attendants could not be kinder and more helpful.
We didn’t need to buy the tickets because we are NARM members. We will be back for more - driving from Boston is not a problem at all.
翻译:没想到沃兹沃思雅典娜艺术博物馆竟然如此精彩!J.P.摩根的遗赠令人叹为观止……他的藏品不仅陈列在以其名字命名的宏伟大厅,更遍布这座令人惊叹的博物馆的每个房间。
塞夫勒瓷器和来自不同国家的银器藏品更是首屈一指。很难想象这些精美的艺术品是如何创作出来的。细节、色彩、工艺……无一不精湛。
艺术和雕塑藏品也令人印象深刻:小雕像、花瓶、古希腊和罗马的陪葬品、文艺复兴早期艺术品、多纳泰罗、提香、里贝拉和萨尔瓦托·罗萨的画作、美国艺术和家具,以及印象派、后印象派和超现实主义的杰出典范。
这座建筑本身就非常适合收藏如此珍贵的文字珍品,而且工作人员也非常友善和乐于助人。
我们是NARM会员,所以不用买票。我们还会再来的——从波士顿开车过来完全没问题。
