Discover the Wallace Collection through a clear, engaging tour of its treasures.
This handbook presents the results of recent research in a popular, readable form, guiding readers through the collection’s paintings, sculpture, furniture, porcelain, and armory. It invites both new visitors and seasoned enthusiasts to see how a private house can become a true home of beauty.
This volume explains how Hertford House became a place where contrasts—small pictures beside grand works, ancient bronzes with fine porcelain, and period rooms with modern displays—enhance every object. It highlights the collection’s breadth, its care in presentation, and the idea that quality matters more than size in art. Readers will learn about the formation of the collection, different school emphases across the centuries, and the stories behind notable works.- Explore the scope of the collection, from Italian masters to French painters, Dutch scenes, and eighteenth-century furniture.
- See how the arrangement of objects in period rooms enhances the viewing experience, turning galleries into welcoming living spaces.
- Learn why a focus on quality over sheer quantity matters in collecting, and how small works can carry great impact.
- Get a sense of the collection’s most celebrated pieces and the historical contexts that shaped them.
