Hardback. Condition: Very Good. First.

Dozens of full-color, often full-page, illustrations of paintings by artists such as Delacroix, Millet, Pissaro, Cezanne, and Van Gogh--each with its own explication--are preceded by an essay by Alexandra R. Murphy on Boston art collectors in the 19th century, and how the Museum of Fine Arts managed to accumulate such riches. This hardback copy is in excellent condition, with only some slight cosmetic wear on the edges of the cover and a small mark of an old label on the front end paper.
