Synopsis
The renowned art collection originally built up by the industrial magnate Samuel Courtauld in the 1920s, and since greatly expanded thanks to generous gifts and bequests, is now permanently housed in the splendid architectural surroundings of London's Somerset House. The nineteenth-century core of the collection reflects Samuel Courtauld's policy of buying paintings by the leading Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists. As a result of subsequent expansion, the collection bearing Courtauld's name now also embraces important paintings ranging in period from the fourteenth century to the twentieth, including works by Bruegel, Rubens, Gainsborough, Goya, and Modigliani. This invaluable survey includes a representative selection of 77 paintings from all periods, each reproduced in color and accompanied by an authoritative note. An illustrated account of the growth of the collection and of the history of Somerset House has been provided by the Director of the Courtauld Gallery, John Murdoch.

Gutes Ex. - Englisch. // INHALT : INTRODUCTION by John Murdoch The Gallery in Somerset House THE PLATES Index of Artists. // The renowned art collection originally built up by the industrial magnate Samuel Courtauld in the 1920s, and since greatly expanded thanks to generous gifts and bequests, is now permanently housed in the splendid architectural surroundings of Somerset House in the Strand. The nineteenth-century core of the collection reflects Samuel Courtauld's own single-minded policy of buying paintings by the leading Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists, including such famous works as Manet's A Bar at the Folies-Bergere, Cezanne's The Card Players and Gauguin's Nevermore. As a result of subsequent expansion, the collection bearing Courtauld's name now also embraces important paintings ranging in period from the fourteenth century to the twentieth, including works by artists such as Bernardo Daddi, Lorenzo Monaco, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Claude Lorrain, Rubens, Gainsborough, Goya and Modigliani. This invaluable survey includes a representative selection of 77 paintings from all periods, each reproduced in colour and accompanied by an authoritative note. An illustrated account of the growth of the collection and of the history of Somerset House has been provided by the Director of the Courtauld Gallery, John Murdoch.
