For the first time, these works receive the attention they merit; the present book provides the first detailed scholarly catalogue of the Italian, Spanish, and French paintings before 1850 in the museum. In Addition to comprehensive entries on these works, including full accounts of their provenance, condition, and previous bibliography, the volume contains an introductory chapter ont eh formation of the collection, an essay that makes a significant contribution to the history of collecting Old Master paintings in the western United States. An appendix includes entries on a small sample of the European sculpture at the museum." - dust jacket. VG+ .
