Among the most original of Caravaggio’s followers, Valentin de Boulogne was also one of the defining geniuses of 17th-century French painting and a reference point for later realists such as Courbet to Manet. Bringing together 45 of his paintings, this monographic exhibition is a landmark event.

Inside Look
Jerusalem occupies a unique place in history and in the hearts of people across the world. Its allure, still felt so profoundly today, owes much to the period beginning around the year 1000, when Jerusalem attained unprecedented significance as a location, destination, and symbol to people of diverse faiths from Iceland to India. This fall’s Jerusalem 1000–1400: Every People Under Heaven, opening September 26, brings the city to life. Multiple competitive and complementary religious traditions, fueled by an almost universal preoccupation with the city, gave rise to one of the most creative periods in its history. With approximately 200 works of art, including a number that have never before been seen outside Jerusalem, the exhibition is the first to unravel the various cultural traditions and aesthetic strands that enriched and enlivened the medieval city. The Met curators who organized the exhibition—Barbara Drake Boehm, Paul and Jill Ruddock Senior Curator, The Met Cloisters; and Melanie Holcomb, Curator, Department of Medieval Art and The Cloisters—have identified six factors that made Jerusalem such an exceptional source of artistic inspiration: trade and tourism; the diversity of peoples; an atmosphere of holiness; the concept of Holy War; the generosity of patrons; and the belief that Jerusalem stands at the gates of heaven. These insights yield a presentation that will speak to every visitor. Ceramics, textiles, and jewels evoke the city’s vibrant marketplace. Imposing manuscripts bear metmuseum.org

witness to the many languages spoken there: Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Geez, Armenian, and Syriac, among others. A selection of pristinely preserved sculpted capitals, unearthed at the beginning of the 20th century, demonstrate the dramatic relationship between faith and art. Holy War is illuminated through sculpture, weaponry, and manuscripts, including one that depicts weapons as exquisite goldsmith’s work. The role of patrons whose generosity altered the city’s aesthetic landscape is reflected in an unprecedented gathering of luxury metalwork and other objects. Finally, masterpieces of Persian illumination along with glittering Hebrew manuscripts and a jeweled shrine from the Christian tradition come together in celebration of Jerusalem’s place at the threshold of eternity. Also of interest: Faith and Photography, Auguste Salzmann in the Holy Land, on view September 12, 2016 through February 5, 2017. Drawn exclusively from the rich holdings of The Met’s Department of Photographs, this exhibition is the first ever devoted exclusively to the career of the French painter, poet, archaeologist, and photographer Auguste Salzmann (1824–1872).

Kerry James Marshall: Mastry Oct 25, 2016–Jan 29, 2017 Marshall’s deep connection to painting and history comes alive through nearly 80 works that span his remarkable 35-year career. Through portraiture, landscape, and other narrative modes, he illustrates the American experience as unimaginable without black history and culture, while reasserting the place of the black figure within the canon of Western painting. Made possible in part by the Ford Foundation. Additional support provided by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; and The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
