New York: Newsweek. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket. Hardcover. Excellent condition, with minimal shelf wear. ; ; 171 pages; The National Gallery, youngest of the world's great museums, is the possessor of incomparable treasures. From its nucleus, the twenty-one stupendous masterworks once owned by Catherine the Great of Russia (acquired through intermediaries from the Hermitage by Andrew Mellon) it has grown to encompass the centuries from the 13th to the present -- by its very splendor attracting even greater gifts, including the Widener and Kress collections and the glories of French Impressionism presented by Chester Dale. Now within these pages the reader, like the visitor entering the Gallery's classical porticoes and great rotunda, will find himself on a guided tour of the collections -- arranged as in the museum itself to illumine the evolution of Western Painting from Cimabue to Picasso. .
