These canonical European paintings, some of them being shown for the first time in the United States, include such highlights as John Singer Sargent's Lady Agnew of Lochnaw from 1892, with its velvety layers of whites and lavenders; Paul Gaugin's Three Tahitians from 1899, with its kaleidoscope of skin and skyline; and Botticelli's The Virgin Adoring the Sleeping Christ Child, circa 1490, with its quintessential angelic flesh tones.
