Winter, 2013, Volume LXX, Number 3 issue of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin. "Through exhibitions and publications, [Wheelock] Whitney played a key part in nurturing a broader interest in painting of the French school between 1785 and 1850. The basic strategy was simple: to unearth informal sketches and studies of aesthetic merit that artists typically squirreled away in their ateliers and to place them before the eyes of the public, often for the first time since they were painted. Because the majority of the painters were greatly admired in their day but had been overshadowed by subsequent artistic trends, finished paintings by these long-neglected artists were also added to the mix." - Asher Ethan Miller.
