Description
The Musee d'Orsay boasts the greatest collection of Impressionist and post-Impressionist art in the world.
Since its opening in 1986 in a spectacularly renovated train station, the museum has welcomed more than fifty million visitors to its collection of works by Bouguereau, Courbet, Renoir, Cezanne, Van Gogh, Monet, Manet, Redon, Whistler, Gauguin and other artists of the mid-nineteenth century through to the early twentieth century.
In this deluxe volume, the museum's director and his team of curators and specialists examine this extraordinary collection. With 830 beautifully-reproduced illustrations of masterpieces by some of the world's best-loved artists - from Van Gogh's 'Bedroom at Arles' to Cezanne's 'Apples and Oranges' - this is the definitive guide to paintings in one of the world's most popular museums.
The exhaustive scope of this book and the richness of its imagery makes Paintings in the Musee d'Orsay an essential addition to the bookshelves of all lovers of great art.
