French Paintings: A Catalogue of the Collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Vol. 2, XIX Century
Metropolitan Museum of Art/NY Graphic Society | 1966 | ISBN: N/A | English | PDF | 254 pages | 21.36 Mb

This catalogue, containing entries for the pictures painted in the first three quarters of the nineteenth century, is the second of three volumes devoted to the French paintings in the Metropolitan Museum. The collection is so extensive that the original plan to publish the French catalogue in two parts had to give way to the present arrangement. This book begins with Georges Michel and ends with Puvis de Chavannes.

The Museum is especially rich in French painting, and its galleries show representative examples of wide variety and conspicuous quality. Soon after its founding in 1870 the Museum began to acquire outstanding examples of the style of French painting that was acclaimed as the finest of that time. Catharine Lorillard Wolfe, one of the Museum’s first benefactors, was a New Yorker who spent many years in Paris. She admired and collected works by the best French artists who exhibited at the Salon, and through her generosity our collections show fully what was considered modern and stylish during the Museum’s early years.
