This publication documents the first time the many works donated by the Tanenbaum family have been exhibited together at the Art Gallery of Ontario. The scope is breathtaking: thirty-seven
works by thirty artists from eight countries produced from the late fifteenth century to the early twentieth century. As a group, it ranks among the greatest gifts of Old Master paintings to a
public museum in Canada's history and includes works by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Jan Brueghel the Elder, Francisco Goya y Lucientes, and Auguste Rodin. This lavishly illustrated publication
includes a scholarly essay and introduction, accompanied by complete documentation. Published to accompany the exhibition currently on display at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
