This publication is the Museum's descriptive catalogue of its 2,500 paintings, oil sketches, and finished pastels, each one illustrated and presented chronologically by national and regional school. -- Metropolitan Museum of Art website.

This beautifully produced volume is the first to survey the Metropolitan Museum's world-renowned collection of European furniture. One hundred and three superb examples from the Museum's vast holdings are featured. They originated in workshops in England, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Russia, or Spain and date from the Renaissance to the late nineteenth century. A number of them belonged to such important historical figures as Pope Urban VIII, Louis XIV, Madame de Pompadour, and Napoleon. The selection includes chairs, tables, beds, cabinets, commodes, settees and sofas, bookcases and standing shelves, desks, fire screens, athéniennes, coffers, chests, mirrors and frames, showcases, and lighting equipment. There is also one purely decorative piece, a superb vase made for a Russian noble family who, according to one awestruck viewer, "owned all the malachite mines in the world." The makers of some of the objects are unknown, but most of the pieces can be identified by label, documentation, or style as the work of an outstanding European designer-craftsman, such as André-Charles Boulle, Thomas Chippendale, David Roentgen, or Karl Friedrich Schinkel.

Collects the best artwork created before, during and following the Civil War, in the years between 1859 and 1876, along with extensive quotations from men and women alive during the war years and text by literary figures, including Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain and Walt Whitman. 15,000 first printing.

This is a new edition of a reference book about the European paintings collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. This new edition of the summary catalogue is in one volume and each picture is reproduced, with its description, on a two-page spread. Artists are listed by school, and the paintings are arranged chronologically within that designation. Two indexes enable readers to find individual artists by page number, and the works of art by accession numbers. Many revisions have been made, including new acquisitions, reattributions, and deaccessions. Included are collections of Robert Lehman and Linsky.

A study of the condition, subject, design, manufacture, ownership, and exhibitions for each tapestry or set of tapestries in the Museum's medieval tapestry collection. -- Metropolitan Museum of Art.
