About This Book

A concise guide to key paintings in a major national museum, organized by country, school, and period from the fourteenth to the nineteenth centuries. It pairs fifty color plates with brief critical essays and descriptions that address attribution, dating, technique, dimensions, and composition, often revising official cataloguing. Illustrations span Italian, Flemish, Dutch, Spanish, German, and French schools and include practical information for visitors and the nomenclature conventions used by the authors.
