This book is dedicated to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston (Massachusetts), which houses about half a million works of art, from painting and sculpture to silver and glassware, furniture and fashion. The museum is rightfully proud of the most impressive collection of works by Claude Monet, located outside of Paris. The visiting card of the museum is the world-famous paintings by Rembrandt and Rubens, the Impressionists (Monet, Renoir, Degas), Post-Impressionists (Van Gogh, Gauguin) and experimental movements of the turn of the XNUMXth-XNUMXth centuries (Matisse and Picasso). But not only they are considered the pearls of the collection. The museum houses one of the richest collections of engravings and drawings in the world, rare examples of the heritage of the civilizations of Ancient Egypt, Greece, the Middle East and the Roman Empire, as well as masterpieces from Africa and Oceania. Samples of object culture from different eras, next to painting and sculpture, create a context for understanding the work of the great masters of the past and present. The publication introduces the history of the development of this American museum, with the masterpieces of the art collection and lesser known works. On the material of the museum's richest collections, the reader is invited to make a journey through time and space through the countries of Europe and America - from the art of the Middle Ages to the end of the XNUMXth century.
