European Paintings and Sculpture from Joslyn Art Museum - TAYLOR J. ACOSTA - Bog

"European Paintings and Sculpture from Joslyn Art Museum is the first comprehensive reexamination of the museum's permanent collection in over three decades, marking a significant milestone for the institution and drawing well deserved attention to the artworks in its care. The museum's collection of European painting and sculpture includes masterworks by Titian, Paolo Veronese, Claude Lorrain, Rembrandt van Rijn, Gustave Courbet, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, and Camille Pissarro, as well as significant holdings of nineteenth-century French academic painting, with major examples by Jules Breton, William-Adolphe Bouguereau, and Jean-Lâeon Gâerãome. Despite the importance of this collection, previous publications have only addressed these works within a broader selection of museum highlights. The new catalogue presents one hundred artworks dating from the late thirteenth to the early twentieth century and representing many of the most important artists, schools, and styles of European art history"--
