Description:... The phenomenal painting collection of the Thyssen-Bornemisza family, which contains substantial holdings in Northern and Italian Renaissance, the Italian Baroque, modern, and contemporary painting, is now housed in Madrid. The present catalog features good- quality color reproductions of each painting, with a page or two on each artist's biography and the collection's work. A short introduction tells the history of the collection and its new building. Perez-Jofre, who worked with the collection for six years following its installation in the Palacio Villahermosa, is an independent art historian. c. Book News Inc.
