On display until September, the event will feature over 130 works, the first major showcase of Cassatt\u2019s oeuvre since the 1990s. The Rittenhouse invites you to honor the groundbreaking spirit of one of Pennsylvania\u2019s own, whose life and art continue to captivate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Celebrating a Storied Connection<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mary Cassatt, a name synonymous with the French-Impressionist movement, was a pivotal trailblazer who studied at the renowned Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia before going on to reshape the art world\u2019s perspectives. Spending much of her professional life in Paris, Cassatt forged a vibrant career that challenged the conventional expectations of Philadelphia\u2019s elite. Her prints, pastels, and paintings are known for their delicate yet direct exploration of the social, intellectual, and working lives of modern women, and the intimate bonds between mothers and children, capturing the subtleties of everyday life with a touch of realism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to her celebrated connection to Philadelphia, Mary Cassatt\u2019s influence at The Rittenhouse is woven into the very fabric of its existence, from the curated art pieces that adorn our lobby to the flavors and finesse of our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rittenhousehotel.com\/dining\">restaurants<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rittenhousehotel.com\/accommodations\">accommodations<\/a>. The historic connection enriches the cultural atmosphere for guests, bridging the past and present for a new era of luxury.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Artful Amenities and Culinary Nods&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In celebration of Cassatt\u2019s artistry, The Rittenhouse has curated a series of bespoke experiences and amenities that reflect her influence. Guests can indulge in the posh setting of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rittenhousehotel.com\/dining\/tea\">Mary Cassatt Tea Room<\/a>, where the ambiance is reminiscent of its namesake\u2019s refined artistic taste. There, you\u2019ll find a chocolate truffle recipe, believed to have been developed by Cassatt herself, on the menus this spring offering a unique taste of history. At&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rittenhousehotel.com\/dining\/librarybar\">The Library Bar<\/a>, the spring menu takes inspiration directly from Cassatt\u2019s paintings with every cocktail crafted to evoke the essence of her art, turning each sip into an exploration of flavor. In addition, a specially curated cabernet franc ros\u00e9 from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.muralcitycellars.com\/\">Mural City Cellars<\/a>&nbsp;will be available throughout our dining venues, an homage to an artist who continues to inspire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Haven of Culture and Comfort&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as Mary Cassatt believed in what she labeled as the \u201cserious work\u201d of artmaking, at The Rittenhouse, we believe in the serious craft of comfort and world-class service.
