European and American Paintings in the Cleveland Museum of Art

Founded in 1913 'for the benefit of all the people forever', the Cleveland Museum of Art is a pilgrimage site for scholars and an inspiration for visitors. Not only one of the top comprehensive art museums in the United States, it is also among the most significant internationally. The museum's collection is defined by individual works of the highest quality in all media, rather than quantity or overall depth, and it is rich in European and American paintings, with works from the 14th to the 20th centuries appearing in this book. Paintings by Bronzino, El Greco, Annibale Carracci, Rubens, Hals, Goya, David, Turner, Bierstadt, Picasso, Monet, Vuillard, Matisse, Hopper, Hartley and Rothko are among the selected works. David Franklin has written an inviting introduction and thoughtful entries for the 60 works, each of which is carefully reproduced in colour, many with details.
