Here, in one stunning volume, are thirty-three of America's most popular paintings, prominently displayed in a dynamic, interactive format filled with pullouts, die-cuts, and visual surprises. For "Masterpieces", prestigious museums across the country have chosen the paintings that are the perennial favorites in their collections. From The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City you'll see Rembrandt's "Aristotle with a Bust of Homer", and from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., you'll see Renoir's "A Girl with a Watering Can".

when i opened this book and saw i had paid $25 used i was shocked. but as soon as i started it i knew why. it was $47.50 in 1995
mostly great paintings with perfect write-ups--the artist, the technique, the subject, the provenance, the museum. ( )
