Masterpieces of Painting in the J. Paul Getty Museum: Second Edition

This second edition of Masterpieces of Painting in the J. Paul
Getty Museum contains only thirteen of the paintings previously
illustrated, indicating the number of significant acquisitions made by the
Museum’s Department of Paintings since 1981. The fifty-three color plates
reflect the emphasis that has been given to broadening the scope of the
collection. Among the outstanding pictures acquired and featured here are works
by Pissarro, Monet, Degas, and Lautrec, as well as masterpieces by Bouts,
Mantegna, and Salviati. Each color illustration is accompanied by a text entry
that provides both commentary and background information.
