This book is dedicated to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts, which houses nearly half a million works of art, from paintings and sculpture to silver and glassware, furniture and fashion. The museum boasts the most impressive collection of Claude Monet's works outside Paris. World-famous paintings by Rembrandt and Rubens, Impressionists (Monet, Renoir, Degas), Post-Impressionists (Van Gogh, Gauguin) and experimental trends of the turn of the XIX-XX centuries (Matisse and Picasso) are the museum's calling card. But they are not the only gems of the collection. The museum has one of the richest collections of engravings and drawings in the world, rare examples of the heritage of civilizations of Ancient Egypt, Greece, the Middle East and the Roman Empire, as well as masterpieces from Africa and Oceania. Samples of object culture of different epochs in the neighborhood of painting and sculpture create a context for understanding the work of great masters of the past and present. The publication introduces the history of the development of this American museum, the masterpieces of the art collection and lesser-known works. Based on the museum's rich collections, the reader is invited to travel through time and space in Europe and America, from the Middle Ages to the end of the 20th century.
