Item description from seller

48 pages, colour illustrations; 28 cm. Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin, volume LXX, number 3 (Winter 2013). Catalogue of the exhibition held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, January 22 to April 21, 2013. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Light shelfwear to wraps. *** "In 2003 the Metropolitan Museum acquired a collection of more than fifty paintings that represent a key period in European history, beginning in the 1780s with the advent of the French Revolution and concluding soon after the abdication in 1848 of France's last king, Louis-Philippe. Assembled by the New York connoisseur Wheelock Whitney between 1972 and 2000, this remarkable collection underscores the role of the natural world as a source of inspiration for European artists living on the cusp of the modern epoch, and it provides ample evidence of a rich tradition of painting out of doors, en plein air, nearly a century before Impressionism." - Publisher. Size: 4to.
