Accompanies the exhibition Medievel to Monet at the Wadsworth Atheneum, Connecticut, USA, October 2012 - February 2013 This is both a major reference title on French art and a book aimed at general art-lovers An entirely new catalogue, with up-to-date references, provenance, exhibition histories, technical/conservation reports, and insightful art historical commentaries on the paintings Masters of French Painting, 1290-1920 fills a major gap in the museum's range of scholarly titles devoted to its collections. Masters of French Painting, 1290-1920 presents 138 of the most significant and representative works of art in the Wadsworth Atheneum's internationally recognized collection of French paintings and pastels, ranging from religious subjects, such as Nicolas Poussin's magnificent The Crucifixion (1644-6) and Noël Hallé's tender and human Holy Family (1753) to Toulouse-Lautrec's Jane Avril Leaving the Moulin Rouge (1892). As the first public art museum in the U.S., the Wadsworth Atheneum paved the way for encyclopedic museums across the country. Founded by Daniel Wadsworth, the Atheneum opened in 1844 with 79 paintings and three sculptures, and today holds more than 50,000 works of art. Masters of French Painting, 1290-1920 provides scholars and researchers with an up-to-date resource on French art, and art lovers with a beautifully illustrated guide to this remarkable collection.
