Six centuries of artistic beauty unfold in this stunning exhibition from the Museo de Arte de Ponce. In The Sense of Beauty, we invite you to feast on inspiring works of religious devotion, bask in harmonious scenes of daily life, explore the wonders of the natural world around us, and marvel at the reverence with which painters depicted figures with mythological, historical, or personal significance.

Featuring unparalleled works by distinguished artists including Frederic, Lord Leighton, Peter Paul Rubens, El Greco, and many more, this exhibition will be a delight to everyone who appreciates the sense of beauty within all of us.

The Sense of Beauty has been organized by the Museo de Arte de Ponce in collaboration with the Brigham Young University Museum of Art.
