Highlights
Exhibition: The Baroque Genius of Giovanni Benedetto Castilione
Through Sun, July 8
National Gallery of Art

Organized according to themes and concerns in the work of Castiglione (1609–1664), this exhibition suggests, for the first time, the complex sources of his style and its rich legacy for later artists. The installation includes approximately 80 works, nearly all from the Gallery's collection, many recently acquired and never before exhibited.
Exhibition: Joan Miró: The Ladder of Escape
Through Sun, August 12
National Gallery of Art

Through some 120 works of art, this exhibition reveals a politically engaged aspect of Miró's work, reflecting his passionate response to one of the most turbulent periods in European history, as well as his sense of Spanish--specifically Catalan-- identity.
