The Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, founded in 1912, is one of the most magnificent art museums in the world. Its collections represent all of the major Western European schools of art from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries. Its vast holdings of paintings, sculptures, graphic and applied arts illuminate the development of world art and culture from ancient times to the present.
Highlighting the best-known masterpieces in its celebrated collection of Western European painting, this volume gives the reader a glimpse of several works by Botticelli, Cranach, Rembrandt, Poussin, Watteau, Tiepolo, David, Corot, Renoir, Cezanne, Matisse, and others, many of which are seldom seen in the Western world.
An essay on the history of the museum and its collections introduces the series of full-colour plates contained in the album. Extensive notes on each plate add to the value of this lovely volume.
