Book Description

The Samuel H. Kress Foundation was formed to celebrate art by making it accessible to the entire country. Published on the fiftieth anniversary of the foundation's 1961 gift to the Denver Art Museum of thirty-seven masterworks--from the mid-fourteenth to the mid-seventeenth century--this guide to the collection continues and honors the Samuel H. Kress Foundation's enduring artistic vision. With more than 100 color illustrations, this lavishly illustrated catalogue presents readers with beautiful images and individual entries, including provenance and specific literature, detailing each work in the Kress Collection at the Denver Art Museum.
