About the Book

In line with best-selling The Louvre: All the Paintings (Bookscan 40,000), and Rizzoli's successful The Hermitage Collections and The Barnes Foundation: Masterworks, this title offers an exquisite tour, unique in its lavish illustration, scholarship, extent, and graceful packaging. This volume is the first large survey published in 30 years, and is the first large general survey of the Met's paintings collection. This monumental volume celebrates the greatest and most iconic paintings from the encyclopedic collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, one of the largest, most important, and most beloved museums in the world.

Thomas P. Campbell is the director and CEO of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Review :
"Succeeds magnificently in evoking a global art history…presented in a way that only a physical book could accommodate: eye-filling reproductions in a stylish package of more than five hundred pages, nicely bound…will delight the casual page flipper but it will also entrance art-book aficionados…consistently evokes illuminating connections and gives readers room to discover them"

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
