Full Description
This is a superbly illustrated look at the magnificent collection of art works donated to the Art Gallery of Ontario by the Tanenbaum family. Joey and Toby Tanenbaum rank among North America's most prominent art collectors. This publication documents the first time the many works donated by the Tanenbaum family have been exhibited together at the Art Gallery of Ontario. The scope of the exhibition is truly breathtaking: thirty-seven works by thirty artists from eight countries produced from the late fifteenth century to the early twentieth century. As a group, it ranks among the greatest gifts of Old Master paintings to a public museum, and includes works by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Jan Brueghel the Elder, Francisco Goya y Lucientes, and Auguste Rodin. This lavishly illustrated publication includes a scholarly essay and introduction, accompanied by complete documentation.
