Taft’s Ambrosini receives prestigious award from France Lynne D. Ambrosini has been awarded the Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (the Order of Arts and Letters) by the government of France for her promotion of French language and culture. Ambrosini was the Taft Museum of Art’s deputy director and chief curator. She retired on March 2 after 16 years. The award recognizes individuals who have contributed significantly to furthering the arts in France and throughout the world. Ambrosini has had a lifelong passion for France and its art. After decades researching and publishing books and articles on French art, she led the effort to curate “Daubigny, Monet, Van Gogh: Impressions of Landscape,” which she coorganized with the Scottish National Galleries in Edinburgh and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. The exhibition brought international recognition to the Taft when it opened in February 2016 before traveling to Edinburgh and Amsterdam.
