Piano
Piano is a subject in art. The gallery holds 30 works in this subject in art, including works by Thomas Eakins, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Mariano Fortuny Marsal.
The piano appears in painting primarily from the late 18th century onward, when the instrument became central to bourgeois domestic life.
