"Founded in 1811, Dulwich Picture Gallery was England's first public museum. The gallery is home to one of the most important collections of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century art in the world, including works by Rembrandt, Rubens, and Van Dyck; Poussin and Watteau; Tiepolo and Canaletto; Murillo and Velazquez; and Hogarth and Gainsborough, among many others. Ninety masterpieces of the Baroque and Rococo periods are illustrated and discussed in this publication, which features some of the finest of the gallery's holdings"--Jacket.
