This book introduces readers to the Getty Museum, the largest cultural center on the West Coast of the United States, and presents the finest works from its painting collection. Founded in 1954 by Paul Getty, one of the world's richest men, the Getty Museum today possesses magnificent works by European Renaissance and Modern artists, a collection of Greek, Etruscan, and Roman antiquities, and a first-class collection of 18th-century French furniture and decorative arts.
The most representative collections of paintings at the Getty Museum include Italian Renaissance, Dutch Golden Age, and Rococo France. The museum's collections of English, German, and Spanish paintings are not as large, but also include masterpieces by such masters as William Turner, Lucas Cranach the Elder, and Francisco Goya. Modernist art in the Getty's collection is represented by works by Van Gogh, Monet, Cézanne, and other innovators of the second half of the 19th through mid-20th centuries.
