In an octagonal room just off of the central atrium toward the modern annex entrance, the Baltimore Museum of Art had installed a handful of works from the George A. Lucas Collection. Lucas was an art dealer with ties to Baltimore who lived in Paris working as a broker of art for American clients. Born in 1824, he spent most of the last half of the 19th century there, before returning to the United States and dying here in 1909. The entirety of his collection came as a gift to the BMA in 1996 and included over 2,000 works! This gallery contained 9 or 10. Here are 4.
