The American Wing
In particular, I sought out the American Wing at The Met, and was blown away.
The sculpture, the landscapes, and many of the portraits and historical paintings were just fantastic. The light, the detail, often the subject matter (thankfully). Rooms 220 and 221 were my favorite, in case you go. (Yes, several of the pictures are a bit blurry; no flash allowed, etc. Click on thumbnails for larger, blurrier views.)
Sanford Robinson Gifford. A Gorge in the Mountains - Kauterskill Clove (which is similar to October in the Catskills, but better. He was apparently influenced by Turner, whose works appeal to me in color and light, but almost never in subject matter.)
Worthington Whittredge, The Trout Pool, 1870
Johan Christian Clausen Dahl, Outbreak of the Vesuvius, 1826
George Henry Durrie? (Similar to Winter Scene in New Haven, Connecticut, 1858).
Thomas Moran, The Teton Range, 1897
Asher Brown Durand, The Beeches, 1845
John F. Weir, Forging the Shaft, 1874-77
Frederic Edwin Church, Heart of the Andes, 1859.
And of course, Leutze’s centerpiece and masterpiece, George Washington Crossing the Delaware:
Now for sculpture.
William Henry Rinehart. Latonia and Her Children - Apollo and Diana, 1870.
Medea 
William Wetmore Storey, Medea, 1865
Daniel Chester French, The Angel of Death and the Sculptor from the Milmore Memorial, 1889-93.
Daniel Chester French, Memory, 1909
? In the European Sculpture Court
And finally, one of my favorites from Rodin:
Eternal Spring, 1906-7
And this one is actually in Central Park, and comemorates the end of feudalism or somesuch in Poland in the 1400s. Why this is of concern for New Yorkers, I’m not entirely sure. But I dig the statue.
