I will be visiting The Clark
www.clarkart.edu in Williamstown, MA soon to get an up close look at John Singer Sargent's "Portrait of Carolus-Duran" -1879 and William Bouguereau 's "Nymphs and Satyr" -1873. There are many other works there by Winslow Homer, Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Jean-Léon Gérôme, Corot, Monet, Cassatt... you get the idea.
The chance to see this Bouguereau up close is exciting. I've read other's accounts of experiencing this painting for the first time, it promises to be memorable.
And Sargent's portrait of his teacher, Carolus-Duran, is another painting that I've admired, as many have.
I'm hoping to have a pleasant drive down Rt 2 from NY, through VT and MA, and hopefully will spot some scenic places along the way for some future plein air paintings.
