Printed and bound in Italy. This volume forms part of the celebrated Great Museums of the World series, presenting the collections of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., through a curated, chronological survey from Cimabue to Picasso. Texts by Giampaolo Gandolfo, Gian Lorenzo Mellini, Raffaele Monti, Anna Pallucchini, Licia Ragghianti Collobi, and Pier Carlo Santini, with an introduction by John Walker, then Director of the National Gallery of Art. The book is lavishly produced, with high-quality color reproduction executed by European presses and thoughtful design by Fiorenzo Giorgi. Essays situate the Gallery's holdings within broader art-historical movements, while detailed captions and layouts guide the reader through painting, sculpture, decorative arts, and architectural context. Particularly notable are the extended discussions of Renaissance portraiture, French classicism and Rococo, and nineteenth- and twentieth-century modernism, supported by floor plans and installation views.
