Ages: all Admission Fees: $9 adults, $6 seniors, students with ID and children ages 6-17. Free on Sunday
Special Instructions: Closed on Monday

Assembled over a period of more than 140 years, the collection of the Walters Art Museum entails one of the finest holdings of 19th-century paintings in the United States. The only West Coast venue for the exhibition, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art is pleased to present 40 works from this renowned collection, selected for their art-historical significance and superior quality. Although strongly weighted in favor of French painting, this exhibition, like the collection, also includes major works by British, Spanish, and American artists.

Included are such masterpieces as Eugène Delacroix's powerful Christ on the Sea of Galilee (1854), Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres' perfected, late version of Oedipus and the Sphinx (1864), Edgar Degas' splendid Before the Race (1882-1884), and such favorites as Edouard Manet's At the Café (ca. 1879) and Claude Monet's Springtime (ca. 1872). The paintings by Monet form the core of a strong group of Impressionist works, including beautiful landscapes by Camille Pissarro and Alfred Sisley.

Each painting is deeply satisfying on its own and displayed together, make for a ravishing exhibition that well captures the historical breadth and depth of the Walters' collection.
