Excerpt from Masterpieces of Painting Their Qualities and Meanings, an Introductory Study Since the larger things Miss Jewett purposed will not now come to fruition, a word may be said of a life and work for which this book can be but partial evidence. Desire and marked ability led her early to determine on the professional study and practice of art. In 1886 she began the arduous training of an art student in Paris, where she studied under the two great masters, Benjamin Constant and Jules Lefebvre. In 1888 her first Salon picture was accepted; it was a portrait, and as such indicative of the interest that dominated the larger part of her later creative work. For several years she was more or less continuously abroad, gleaning richly from the art of the various European countries in which she found herself. The serious historical study of her subject, long since begun, became of increasing importance to the young artist. In 1892 she made her first pilgrimage to Italy, and henceforth her love for its art, its literature, its people, for the lovely land itself, was an abiding and ever deepening influence in her life. She returned to Italy again and again, and she brought from it always an ardent gospel of beauty and delight.

This lavishly illustrated coffee-table book features more than one hundred paintings from the J. Paul Getty Museum’s extraordinary collection “I am convinced that the true collector does not acquire objects of art for himself alone. His is no selfish drive or desire to have and hold a painting, a sculpture, or a fine example of antique furniture so that only he may see and enjoy it. Appreciating the beauty of the object, he is willing and even eager to have others share his pleasure.” —J. Paul Getty, The Joys of Collecting, 1965 Rooted in a passion for the Italian Renaissance as well as Dutch and Flemish Baroque works, the original collection of J. Paul Getty (1892–1976) has been transformed over four decades to include seminal pieces by celebrated masters such as Masaccio, Titian, Parmigianino, Cranach, El Greco, Rubens, van Dyck, Rembrandt, Poussin, Canaletto, Fragonard, Turner, Manet, Degas, Renoir, Monet, van Gogh, Cézanne, and Ensor. Masterpiece Paintings in the J. Paul Getty Museum surveys more than one hundred of the most exquisite and significant paintings displayed in the museum’s famed, daylight-suffused galleries. Vibrant full-color illustrations and engaging descriptions of these masterworks reveal their fascinating histories and cultural, social, and religious meanings. Sure to enchant and edify all art lovers, this book is a spellbinding tour through the history of Western painting.

"Together the text and illustrations gradually reveal many of the major themes and characteristics of Chinese painting. To "read" these works is to enter a dialogue with the past. Slowly perusing a scroll or album, one shares an intimate experience that has been repeated over the centuries. And it is through such readings that meaning is gradually revealed."--BOOK JACKET.
