Description: Lisboa: Fundacion Calouste Gulbenkian, 2014. 31cm., hardcover, 198pp. with numerous color plates. English text. Summary: This edition is the product of several years of thorough research underpinned by technical and scientific rigour and the involvement of several international experts in the art of drawing. This publication therefore plays an essential part in raising awareness of one of the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum's least-well known collections, which includes works produced in the main centres of European art (France, Holland, Flanders, England and Italy) between the sixteenth and early twentieth centuries by great masters such as Dürer, Watteau, Boucher, Turner and Sargent, among others. This book also gives us a clearer picture of Calouste Gulbenkian’s artistic sensibility as a collector: despite claiming not to be attracted to drawing, the beauty and quality of the works brought together here were such that he could not resist purchasing them.
