Die Gemäldesammlung des Musee d' Orsay

Robert Rosenblum has infused his ninety-six essays with the enthusiasm he feels for this ambitious and very popular new collection. Whether the subject is Couture or Courbet, Bonnat or Bonnard, Professor Rosenblum's writing is a brilliant beacon that draws our attention to details, underlying themes, and unexpected connections between the innovators and their artistic companions.
Paintings in the Musee d'Orsay, with its 827 paintings and 22 large details, is the only book of this size and scope on this magnificent collection. With some of the most beautiful and accessible art of all time between its covers, the book holds pages of surprises and lasting pleasures for anyone who loves art.
