The core of
the Museum's small collection of paintings, drawings, prints and
sculpture is the personal collection of Shannon Rodgers and Jerry
Silverman, which includes visually appealing works from the 17th
through the 20th century. Notable among the western paintings
are works by Sir Thomas Beechey, Eugène Boudin, Gavin Hamilton,
Francis Holman, Thomas Hudson, John Singer Sargent, and Roelandt
Savery. Asian highlights include a pair of Chinese Qing dynasty
ancestor portraits, a Japanese Kamakura period wood sculpture
of a monk and two late Tokugawa period folding screens. The fine
arts collection has been enriched by other donations through the
years, including a Rembrandt etching The Goldsmith, the gift of
John and P. and Helen Morgan Williamson.
