“A Sense of Place,” the gallery devoted to European and American genre views, offers the visitor a comparison between the environments and everyday experiences of a 17th century Dutch village in Winter Scene by Jan Abrahamsz. Beerstraten; the depiction on canvas of Samuel Woodworth’s song The Old Oaken Bucket by American Jerome B. Thompson in which farm children are depicted in a charming view of life before the Civil War; and the colorful life of the dance halls in turn-of-the-century Paris in Henri Toulouse-Lautrec’s lithograph of Jane Avril at the Jardin de Paris, among others.
