An Illustrated Foreword by Maurice W. Brockwell, London, England, Regarding the William Salomon Collections of Renaissance and Earlier Italian Art (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from An Illustrated Foreword by Maurice W. Brockwell, London, England, Regarding the William Salomon Collections of Renaissance and Earlier Italian Art
The conspicuous success that characterized those dispersals of artistic properties has left its mark on the history of art collecting in this country and fostered the formation of private collections and nascent Art Museums. Such activities would. No doubt. In time in some degree determine the late Mr. William Salomon to enter the field as a collector himself. Mr. Salomon (1852 having founded an International Banking House and interested himself in the problems of transportation and world-wide finance, would naturally search far afield when selecting paintings and works of art that appealed to his taste and fine judgment. Being trained to use and accept the services of others, he sought and received the advice of the Duveens, Henry and Sir Joseph: of Jacques Seligmann, of René Gimpel and others of eminence, and his collections reflect their unusual ability to procure the rare and authentic. He may be said to have built dc fundamento ad summitatem, for he built his residence at 1020 Fifth Avenue, that it should prove a worthy casket to contain his treasures, and to hold its own among the best of its serious rivals and enriched neighbors. That Mr. Salomon, who was the founder of the Educational Alliance, acquitted himself on his self-appointed task with conspicuous success is abundantly proved by the subjoined summary of his works of art. Yet, the array before us does not in any way exhaust the full measure of his attainments as a collector. In point of fact, he laid his ground truly by purchasing, at the outset. In Europe, Marbles. Staircases and Structural Equipments with many of which we have no direct concern. However, a word must be said on the subject of the many works of art and paintings which emanated from Europe for his enjovment.
