An Alcove in the Art Students League (1888). Charles Courtney Curran (American, 1861-1942). Oil on canvas. Art Institute of Chicago.Students worked from casts of Greek and Roman sculptures, as well as from reproductions of classically inspired Renaissance works, such as Michelangelo’s allegorical Night from the Tomb of Guiliano de'Medici, which occupies the lower left corner.
