Synopsis
Louisine Havemeyer and her husband, Henry Osborne Havemeyer, were pioneering American patrons of art at the end of the last century. They assembled a collection of works by 19th-century French artists, as well as paintings by Rembrandt, El Greco and other old masters. This volume accompanies a recent exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, that brought together works from Mrs Havemeyer's 1929 bequest to the museum, from other gifts made to the museum while the Havemeyers were alive, and important pieces that remained in private hands or were given to other institutions, offering an opportunity to explore a broad sampling of the collection formed by this famous couple.

From Publishers Weekly
The fabulous Havemeyer Collection of Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum of Art is sampled in this exhibition catalog. Coupling 800 plates (176 in color) with informative essays by a team of 27 scholars led by exhibition co-curators Frelinghuysen and Tinterow, the album includes works by Rembrandt, El Greco, Veronese, Cranach, Bronzino, Daumier and Courbet, plus impressionist masterpieces by Corot, Manet, Monet, Cezanne, Renoir, Degas and Mary Cassatt. That Louisine Havemeyer (1855-1929), husband Henry (1847-1907) and their family possessed broad taste in Asian arts is evident in objects ranging from Japanese woodblock prints to a Korean hanging scroll. Their eclectic passion for the decorative arts is also on display in Egyptian sculpture, Islamic painting and pottery, Venetian glass, Italian majolica and Tiffany glass and flatware.
