From July 2003 to early 2006, Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery, one of the richest collections in Britain, will be closed for upgrading and display. Thirty-eight of the most important and popular works from the magnificent fine and decorative art collections have been selected for an exhibition at the McClellan galleries. This new title in Scala's prestigious Masterpieces series presents these highlights in a beautifully produced and richly illustrated book. Selected from a collection that comprises 3,000 paintings, 12,500 drawings and engravings, and 300 sculptures, Art Treasures of Kelvingrove showcases such outstanding works as Bellini's The Madonna and Child, Filippino Lippi's The Madonna and Child with the Infant St John, Rembrandt's A Man in Armour, JMW Turner's Modern Italy: the Pifferari, Botticelli's The Annunciation, Carlo Dolci's Salome with the Head of John the Baptist. It includes works by Whistler, Pissarro, Rubens, Monet, Degas, van Gogh, and Matisse; works by Scottish artists including Allan Ramsay, Horatio McCulloch, and Francis Cadell; and decorative arts by Christopher Dresser, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Frances Macdonald, and many more.
