Description: “DULWICH PICTURE GALLERY, LONDON” Edited/Curated by: Ian Dejardin Founded in 1811, Dulwich was England's first purpose-built public art gallery, designed by the period’s greatest architect, Sir John Soane. Its founders, Noel Desenfans, Francis Bourgeois and Margaret Desenfans, lie to this day in the beautiful mausoleum at the heart of the Gallery. The collection makes this remarkable and picturesque place one of the glories of Europe -- Rembrandt, Rubens, Canaletto, Poussin, Gainsborough, Hogarth, Raphael, Tiepolo, amongst many other famous names, are all represented by masterpieces here. Ian Dejardin, the Gallery’s Director, has chosen, out of this extraordinary parade of relics, a selection of the paintings that speak in him particularly. They include masterpieces famous the world over, some less well-known gems, and many surprises. He leads us through this famous collection on a very personal tour, in what is the first in the Director’s Choice series by Scala Publishers. A great look at one of the more interesting galleries, & their treasures! The book is a softcover, measuring about 8 x 7 inches. It was published by the Gallery, in London, in 2009. It is 80 pages long. Book is used, but in excellent condition -- no writing, no stains or soiling, clean cover & tight spine. Top bidder should add $6.99 for postage within Canada, or $12.99 for mailing to the USA. I have other, similar books up for sale now, so please check them out too!
