I select nine artwork for the exhibit, they are European artworks from the 18th to the 19th century. Among those wroks, there are eight oil paintings about figures and one very large watercolor wallpaper of figure and landscape.

You will need to explain why you have chosen these works.You will need to describe what space they will be displayed in.You will need to explain the purpose of your exhibition.Art historians often participate in exhibitions and art collections, whether while acting as curators or in writing wall texts or catalog entries.This involves thinking of the works outside of themselves: putting them in dialogue with or in opposition to other works, planning who will see them and how, fitting works and the perceptions of them into certain themes, etc.
