Description: This catalogue is a compilation of paintings (particularly from painters José Campeche y Jordán (1751-1809) and Francisco Manuel Oller y Cestero (1833-1917)) part of the vast collection of art that the ICP has treasured for more than a century, since its foundation in 1955. "Beginning with the first acquisition through the purchase of a work by José Campeche in February of 1959 and up to the last two works acquired in 1977, the Institute has gathered about twenty-four pieces of unique testimonial value in more than one case. With this number, it surpasses the best-known series until then: the Campeche canvases in the Archbishop's palace in San Juan, of which there are twenty."--P. xiii. Includes several essays by well-known Puerto Rican art historians and curators.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 454-472) and index.
