This richly illustrated book examines the making of one of the
earliest modern catalogues--"La galerie electorale de Dusseldorff."
Published in 1778, the revolutionary two-volume publication
showcases one of the most important European painting collections
of the eighteenth century, reflecting a pivotal moment in the
history of art as well as the history of the art museum. In two
essays, the authors analyze the process by which the catalogue was
produced and shed light on the historical and cultural context that
gave rise to an innovative and didactic way of displaying
paintings--and, by extension, to art history as a discipline. The
volume accompanies an exhibition of the same name to be held at the
Getty Research Institute from May 31 to August 21, 2011.
