On Loan from the Detroit Institute of Arts

Five Spanish Masterpieces celebrates the return of the DIA’s Melancholy Woman to the museum after a lengthy period on loan to other institutions. DIA Director Graham W. J. Beal discusses how that painting and other acclaimed masterpieces, including Caravaggio’s Martha and Mary Magdalene and Fuseli’s The Nightmare, would rarely be on view in Detroit if the museum granted just the more serious loan requests that come in from around the world.

Note: Due to a partial closure of John R St., both the Brush St. and John R St. entrances of the Cultural Center parking lot will be open.
