Portrait paintings
A good portrait watches you back. This room gathers saints, soldiers, society beauties and a boxer, painted between 1563 and 1933.
John Singer Sargent's Madame X caused a scandal at the Paris Salon of 1884. Caravaggio's Saint John broods in the dark. Hang one where you pass it every day.
