Donated to the city of Cincinnati in 1927, Charles and Anna Taft's
collection features beautiful porcelain from the Ming and Qing
dynasties, paintings by masters including Rembrandt, Gainsborough,
Goya, Ingres, Corot, Whistler, and Sargent, and decorative objects
including crystal, gold, silver, and enamel-work. The 80 works that
feature in this volume, chosen from the 740-piece collection, are
presented in four sections, coinciding with the museum's major
areas of specialization: European painting, European decorative
arts, American art, and Chinese art.Each piece is accompanied by an
entry detailing its history and that of its artist or maker written
by Taft curatorial staff. Lynne D. Ambrosini's essay explores the
collecting practice of Charles and Anna Taft. Deborah Emont Scott's
foreword provides a history of the Taft bequest and its lasting
significance to the city of Cincinnati and its present day
inhabitants.
