The J. Paul Getty Museum announced today the acquisition of two new works: Landscape with the Temptation of Saint Anthony (1617) by 17th-century Flemish landscape and still-life painter Roelandt Savery (1576-1639) and a brown wash and graphite drawing entitled Sphinx (c. 1898-1900) by renowned 19th-century French sculptor and draftsman Auguste Rodin (1840-1917).

Savery's Landscape is one of the most important works by the artist to become available in several decades, and will go on in Winter 2009 in the Museum's East Pavilion, alongside Hans Hoffmann's A Hare in the Forest (about 1585) and in close proximity to Jan Brueghel's Entry of the Animals into Noah's Ark (1613) and later Dutch landscape paintings. Rodin's Sphinx will not be on permanent view because of the light sensitivity of the material, but will temporarily go on view December 16, 2998 alongside two complementary drawings from the collection: Edgar Degas' Miss Lala at the Fernando Circus and Paul Gauguin's Eve ('The Nightmare').
