M. W. Turner, to the stylish Japanese-inflected snowstorms of Claude Monet and Camille Pissaro, and beyond.

Known as "panel paintings," such works served a wide variety of purposes, from humble portraits to ambitious narratives. Art historian Thomas F. Mathews shares his research on a recent discovery of more than 60 panel paintings from Egypt and what they reveal about the "Isis and Serapis" panels in the Getty's collection. Free; a ticket is required.
