The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, owns one of the nation's preeminent collections of American paintings. Every painting in the Museum's collection - more than 1,600 in all - is recorded and illustrated in this book, the first comprehensive catalogue of the collection to appear in nearly thirty years. The American holdings at the Museum grew by gift and purchase, and this catalogue and its introductory essay trace the evolution of the collection from an important gathering of local artists to its present status as a truly encyclopedic representation of American art. Extensive new research, resulting in a significant number of changed attributions and titles (summarizes in the book's five indices), make this catalogue an indispensable tool for scholars and American art enthusiasts alike.

Boston Museum of Fine Arts

ISBN: 9780821226209
Publisher: Bulfinch Pr
Publication Date: 1999
Binding: Hardcover

Few figures in history evoke the curiosity or command the attention that Akhenaten, Nefertiti, and Tutankhamen do. Pharaoh Akhenaten founded the city of Amarna 3,500 years ago. In this millennial exhibition of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the fascinating Amarna Period of ancient Egypt comes to life through more than 250 beautiful works of sculpture, architectural elements, ceramic ware, jewelry, clothing, tools, and furniture from renowned international collections. Essays by leading Egyptian scholars describe this time of unprecedented change in Egyptian art and architecture, technology, the role of women, and religion, specifically the transition from polytheism to monotheism. Pharaohs of the Sun is a rare opportunity to explore and understand the beauty of Amarna culture, a time that captures the imagination as no other period of Egyptian antiquity has.

Following an introduction by Theodore Stebbins, three sections of photographs with accompanying essays demonstrate the entire range of Weston's work: still lifes, work from the Mexican period, his landmark work with shells and peppers, small-format portraiture and fragmentary nudes, the classic 1930s series of nudes and dunes, and his late, abstract landscapes.

Martin Johnson Heade

Boston Museum of Fine Arts; Theodore E. Stebbins; Jim Wright; Karen E. Quinn; National Gallery of Art (U.S.); Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Janet L. Comey; Martin Johnson Heade

ISBN: 9780300081695
Publisher: Yale Univ Pr
Publication Date: 1999
Binding: Hardcover

Martin Johnson Heade (1819-1904) had the longest career and produced perhaps the most varied body of work of any American painter of the nineteenth century. His prolific oeuvre ranges from American coastal marshes and marine landscapes to the lush tropical splendor of South and Central American landscapes, birds, and flowers. An independent thinker as well as a world traveler, Heade developed a singular approach to landscape and still life painting, adapting some elements of the style and practice of the Hudson River School to his own more Darwinian vision. While Heade had only a minor reputation in his own day and was completely forgotten for many decades after his death, he is now rightly regarded as an artist of great significance and originality, and as the only American whose landscapes and still lifes are equally important. In this elegantly illustrated book, the catalogue for the second major retrospective of Heade's work in thirty years, Theodore Stebbins and his collaborators focus on the major themes of Heade's work: seascapes, salt marshes, landscapes, tropical landscapes, the "gems" of Brazil (as hummingbirds are known), passion flowers, orchids, and his late work in Florida. There are also chapters on Heade's critics and the development of Heade's painting technique.

French Paintings in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston: Artists Born Before 1790

ISBN: 9780878464616
Publisher: Museum of Fine Arts Boston
Publication Date: 1998
Binding: Hardcover

'What colors! what variety! What richness of objects and ideas!' So the great philosopher and art critic Diderot wrote in 1761 about Francois Boucher's enormous painting Halt at the Spring, exhibited that year in Paris and the Salon of the Royal Academy. This is but one of the nearly 90 paintings included in French Paintings in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston: Volume 1, Artists born before 1790. Incorporated in this volume are the paintings of the sixteenth through the first part of the nineteenth centuries. In addition to Boucher, such notable artists as Poussin, Claude, Le Sueur, Largilliere, Greuze, Watteau, Vigee-Lebrun, Lancret, Baron Gros and Prud'hon are included. The MFA's French painting collection is one of America's greatest, and this catalogue marks the first scholarly publication of many of its highlights. Each work is fully illustrated (many in color), and each entry includes a full bibliography and provenance as well as text discussing the work's significance. An introductory essay also provides background on the history of the collection's formation from the acquisition of the Boucher in 1871 to the present day.

French Prints from the Age of the Musketeers

Boston Museum of Fine Arts; Sue Welsh Reed; Alvin L. Clark; National Gallery of Canada; Mona Bismarck Foundation

ISBN: 9780878464609
Publisher: Museum of Fine Arts Boston
Publication Date: 1998
Binding: Softcover

Experience the life of seventeenth-century France through close-up views of life during the reign of Louis XIII in this handsomely produced exhibition catalogue. An astonishing amount of visual documentation of this period was captured in prints, yet many of them are rare and the artists little known. French Prints from the Age of the Musketeers (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, October 21, 1998 - January 10, 1999) provides a picture of the diversity of printmaking in France between 1610 and 1660. It includes 126 works by 50 printmakers arranged by topic - genre, current events, landscapes, portraits, religious subjects and allegories. Among the painter-etchers are Jacques Bellange, Claude Lorrain, Laurent de La Hyre and Simon Vouet, while graphic artists include Jacques Callot and Abraham Bosse. Less familiar image makers such as Richelieu's architect Jacques Lemercier, portraitists Jean Morin and Robert Nanteuil and the inventive Pierre Brebiette will be a revelation to the American public. There is no other book in the English language as extensive on this subject.
