Description

"Published to coincide with the opening of the Audrey Jones Beck building in March of 2000, this illustrated catalogue - the first single volume dedicated to this collection - features one hundred of the most important European paintings in the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The works, which range in date from the early Renaissance to the beginning of the twentieth century, are all featured as full-page color plates. The accompanying text is accessible, providing insights into the artists' lives and explaining - in general terms - the stylistic evolution of the history of European painting. Furthermore, new research on unpublished works has been incorporated into the entries." "With beautiful reproductions and informative commentary, Masterworks of European Painting will be of great appeal to art lovers and scholars alike."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
