In this volume, forty-two remarkable paintings collected by
Robert Lehman and his father, Philip Lehman, are discussed at
length in light of recent technical and art historical research.
This is the eighth in a projected series of sixteen volumes that
will catalogue the entire Robert Lehman Collection at the
Metropolitan Museum.
Among the works catalogued here are Petrus Christus's "Goldsmith
in His Shop" of 1449, which is justly famous as one of the first
northern European paintings to depict everyday life, and Hans
Memling's "Portrait of a Young Man" (ca. 1475-80), in which the
sitter is posed before a landscape, a formula that had lasting
repercussions in Italian as well as Northern art. Also included is
Memling's "Annunciation, " one of his finest and most original
works. Well-known paintings by Simon Marmion, Jean Hey, Gerard
David, Lucas Cranach the Elder and Younger, Hans Holbein, Gerard
Terborch, Pieter de Hooch, Rembrandt, and El Greco all represent in
their own way the best of the era and place in which they were
created, as do masterful portraits by Francisco de Goya, George
Romney, and Sir Henry Raeburn. All the paintings in the Robert
Lehman Collection are reproduced in full color, supplemented by
numerous comparative duotone illustrations.
