74 paintings by 19th-century American artist Martin Johnson Heade were presented in this first comprehensive exhibition of the artist's work since 1969. Selected from public and private collections, the paintings were divided into groups representing the painter's key themes of seascapes, salt marshes, still lifes, magnolias, and hummingbirds and flowers of Brazil.
