"I am convinced that the true collector does not acquire objects of
art for himself alone. His is no selfish drive or desire to have
and hold a painting, a sculpture, or a fine example of antique
furniture so that only he may see and enjoy it. Appreciating the
beauty of the object, he is willing and even eager to have others
share his pleasure." -J. Paul Getty, The Joys of Collecting, 1965
Rooted in a passion for the Italian Renaissance as well as Dutch
and Flemish Baroque works, the original collection of J. Paul Getty
(1892-1976) has been transformed over four decades to include
seminal pieces by celebrated masters such as Masaccio, Titian,
Parmigianino, Cranach, El Greco, Rubens, van Dyck, Rembrandt,
Poussin, Canaletto, Fragonard, Turner, Manet, Degas, Renoir, Monet,
van Gogh, Cezanne, and Ensor. Masterpiece Paintings in the J. Paul
Getty Museum surveys more than one hundred of the most exquisite
and significant paintings displayed in the museum's famed,
daylight-suffused galleries. Vibrant full-colour illustrations and
engaging descriptions of these masterworks reveal their fascinating
histories and cultural, social, and religious meanings. Sure to
enchant and edify all art lovers, this book is a spellbinding tour
through the history of Western painting.
