Title: European art at Dartmouth
Subtitle: highlights from the Hood Museum of Art
Description: "European Art at Dartmouth is the second in a series of catalogues from the Hood that will highlight different areas of the museum's collection, following the publication last year of American Art at Dartmouth. European Art is the first book to present the quality and variety of these works in the museum, of which only a small portion is exhibited regularly though hundreds are used for teaching each year. The fully illustrated catalogue includes an introductory essay by T. Barton Thurber that documents the history of the formation of the collection as well as entries by thirty American and European scholars." "The catalogue highlights over 150 objects from the Italian and German Renaissance, the Dutch Golden Age, the Enlightenment and Romantic periods, and the early modern era. Featured artists include Andrea Mantegna, Pietro Perugino, Albrecht Durer, Claude Lorrain, Rembrandt van Rijn, Jan Davidsz de Heem, Louis-Leopold Boilly, John Constable, Georges Braque, and Pablo Picasso. The European holdings of the Hood Museum of Art, now far more varied in nature, serve diverse audiences within and well beyond the College community and its environs."--BOOK JACKET.
