METROPOLITAN-Fifth Ave. at 82nd. A two-sided Raphael drawing believed lost for nearly 100 years and purchased by the Met for $89,600 highlights a small show of recent acquisitions (through May 30). In the 18th century, Josiah Wedgwood revolutionized the potter's art with creamy earthenware that he made for shopkeepers as well as royalty; 250 pieces, the first exhibition of its kind, include the humbler versions and some made for Catherine the Great. Through Sept...

During the Renaissance, they thought, art had bogged down in formulas, divorced from the community of man, and had become the terrain of academicians for whom Raphael was the exemplar. True sentiment, whether religious or secular, had vanished from art in the eyes of the Pre-Raphaelites, so they turned to a literary, historic past that supplied them with heartfelt admiration for purity and chivalry. Established themes from Shakespeare, the Bible and the Arthurian legends furnished ready...
