Discovering the Italian baroque: The Denis Mahon collection

This gorgeous book fully catalogues for the first time Sir Denis Mahon`s entire collection of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Italian paintings-a collection recognized as one of the most impressive in the world. From the 1930s to the 1970s, Mahon, a scholar, collector, and London National Gallery trustee, acquired seventy-nine Italian Baroque works and played a fundamental role in changing perceptions of art of this period.
