Book Description: For the first time, the entire collection of Western Art paintings in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, has been presented together in one volume. The Ashmolean, founded in 1683, is the oldest museum in the United Kingdom and one of the oldest institutions of its kind in the West. It houses the University of Oxford's remarkable collection of art and antiquities. This is a major publishing effort by the Ashmolean and there are 1,500 works shown. Every picture is illustrated with biographies of all known artists, making it an invaluable reference for collectors and general readers, as well as library specialists. Included are: Paolo Uccello's 'Hunt in the Forest,' Piero di Cosimi's 'Forest Fire,' art by Titian, Bellini, Rubens and Allori, and important Dutch and Flemist paintings. There is a substantial body of work by the Pissarro family, and moving into modern times are Camden Town and Euston Road School pictures and seminal early paintings by Bonnard, Picasso and Matisse.
