In keeping with our mission to offer incomparable world-class art experiences for the community, this exhibition brings to Polk County a rare showcase of work by two of the greatest Spanish painters of all time. 

Long a household name, Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) is considered to be one of the great nineteenth-century masters.

Rembrandt van Rijn founded the most influential Academy that ever existed in the Dutch Republic (1581-1795), training dozens of painters to work in the “Rembrandtesque” manner.

Carlton Ward’s work is part of a long history of photographers focused on raising awareness about and influencing attitudes toward issues of conservation.

Today, the Polk Museum of Art has an impressive and diverse collection of fine and decorative art. The permanent collection has nearly 2,500 objects ranging ancient to contemporary.

Russell Young would later explain his work as addressing the theme of “fame and shame.”
