It is also a blockbuster of dazzling works that appeal to all ages, including iconic masterpieces alongside rarely-seen gems. Outstanding works from the collections of the Buffalo AKG Art Museum and the Musée d'arts de Nantes are supplemented with key loans from other major museums, private collections, and artists.…
