This is the first critical catalogue of the collection of nineteenth-century paintings and drawings in the Norton Simon Museum of Art. Each of the 138 artworks featured is illustrated in color and accompanied by a full catalogue entry, bibliography and conservation notes. Stephen Eisenman and Richard Brettell summarize existing scholarship of the period and shed new light on these important but little-studied masterpieces. They also collaborate on an introduction that places Norton Simon in the historical context of his time.
