Ferré, ranges from Jan van Eyck’s Salvatore Mundi to Rossetti’s Daughters of King Lear. The museum building was designed by Edward Durell Stone, who also designed New York’s Museum of Modern Art. Works are displayed in a honeycomb of skylight hexagonal rooms. In addition to such European masters as Reubens, Van Dyck, and Murillo, the museum features works by Latin American artists, including Diego Rivera. Puerto Rican artists who are represented include José Campeche and Francisco Oller.
