Manet, Édouard.
The Taft Museum’s Old Masters to Impressionists: Three Centuries of French Painting from the Wadsworth Atheneum is precisely the kind of intimate show this venerable institution does so well. Drawing upon the collection of Connecticut’s Wadsworth Atheneum — America’s first public art institution — the exhibition surveys exceptional works from the 1600s through the early 20th century.
Paintings by art-world celebrities such as Van Gogh, Monet and Cezanne are probably the big draws, but it’s the quieter works by Ingres, Manet and Chardin that really steal the show. I was awestruck by Manet’s masterful economy of means in “Low Tide at Berck,” transfixed by Ingres’ luminous surfaces in two superior pieces and captivated by Chardin’s humble “Still Life with Ray, Chicken, and Basket of Onions.” This wonderful little show is brimming with such moments. Tuesday-Sunday. Through Sept. 16. Taft Museum of Art. 316 Pike St., Downtown. taftmuseum.org
