The Cantor Arts Center presents a wide selection of art in 24

largest collection of Rodin bronzes in the world outside Paris.

1. A Rediscovered Masterpiece: 12 Drawings from Tiepolo’s
New Testament - Illustrations drawn by the prolific Venetian
master Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo

pigments using handheld X-ray fluorescence technology that

recreated and painted examples of the brightly colored
sculpture of ancient times.
