This lavish catalogue presents 150 European paintings, pastels,
and drawings from the late fifteenth to the mid-nineteenth century
that have been given to the Metropolitan Museum by Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Wrightsman or are still held in Mrs. Wrightsman's private
collection. These notable works were collected over the past four
decades, many of them with the Museum in mind; some were purchased
by the Museum through the Wrightsman Fund.
Highlights of the book include masterpieces by Vermeer, El
Greco, Rubens, Van Dyck, Georges de La Tour, Jacques-Louis David,
and Caspar David Friedrich as well as numerous paintings by the
eighteenth-century Venetian artists Canaletto, Guardi, and the
Tiepolos, father and son, plus a dozen remarkable portrait drawings
by Ingres. Each work is reproduced in color and is accompanied by a
short essay.
