HUNTINGTON, NY.- As part of its 90th anniversary celebration, The Heckscher Museum of Art presents The Heckscher at 90: Then and Now, featuring favorite works from the Permanent Collection and new acquisitions. From its founding in 1920, with a gift of more than a hundred works from the industrialist and real estate magnate August Heckscher, the Museum’s collections have grown to more than 2,200 objects. This exhibition opens with a selection of Old Master works, including portraiture and sculpture, and a broad range of 19th century American and European paintings that reflect the romantic sensibility of August Heckscher’s collecting aesthetic. Highlights include a rare bronze by François Girardon, The Rape of Proserpine, 1693; the Museum’s oldest painting, Lucas Cranach the Elder’s Virgin, Child, St. John the Baptist and Angels, 1534; the dramatic Arab Horsemen, Defeat and Hate, 1863 by the German orientalist painter Adolf Sc
