This exhibition catalog reproduces 104 drawings selected from one of the most important drawings collections in the world in full size whenever possible and in color. Ranging from the Italian Renaissance through the Dutch and Flemish Baroque to the 19th-century French masters, the works here are superbly reproduced, making this volume difficult to set aside. Following an introduction describing the history of the museum, each drawing is presented with physical description, provenance, exhibitions, bibliography, comparative illustrations, and a text that discusses the artist's technique, subject matter, history of the work, problems of attribution, and other points of interest. Some of the drawings are previously unexhibited or unpublished. This is for both general readers and scholars; an important addition for all art collections.
