Several decades before Ernest Hemingway came to Paris to spend some quality time with Gertrude Stein near the Jardin de Luxembourg; there were a multitude of other American artists inspired by the City of Lights. Paris was, without a doubt, the art capital of the 19th century, and as Henry James remarked in 1887 "when to-day we look for 'American art' we find it mainly in Paris." Staff members at The Metropolitan Museum of Art feel the same way, and they have organized this lovely online exhibit to complement a fine in situ exhibit on the visual arts produced by artists such as Mary Cassatt, Thomas Eakins, and John Singer Sargent during their time there. Visitors can make their way through all eight galleries, and they can also use a zoom feature to pick up on various levels of detail within each work.
