This selection of master works from Yale's prestigious collection is a thrill ride through the annals of art history, from a medieval rendering of a lion by an unnamed artist of the late 15th century to an early portrait by Edgar Degas and a landscape of Nôtre Dame by Johan Barthold Jongkind. Along the way, there are both studies and completed works, including a masterful chalk drawing of a goat by 17th-century Flemish painter Jacob Jordaens, an 1830 watercolor by Pierre-Étienne-Théodore Rousseau, and a sketch of Raft of the Medusa by French romanticist Théodore Géricault.
