Get TicketsThis installation charts the rise of pastel across Europe in the 18th century, when the medium reached an unprecedented peak of popularity due to its portability, swift execution, and dazzling visual effects. This made pastels an especially desirable medium for portraits. Accordingly, pastelists were often highly mobile, crisscrossing Europe in search of commissions. Featured artists include Rosalba Carriera and Adélaïde Labille-Guiard, among the first women artists to exploit the potential of pastel.
