Book Synopsis Recent Acquisitions: A Selection, 2018–2020: Part I: Antiquity to the Late Eighteenth Century by : The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Book excerpt: The first of a special two-part edition of Recent Acquisitions, this Bulletin celebrates works acquired by the Museum in 2019 and 2020, many of which were gifts bestowed in honor of the Museum’s 150th anniversary year. Highlights of Recent Acquisitions 2019–2020 include a sumptuous set of handscrolls depicting The Tale of Genji, a second-century Roman wellhead, a drawing of a landscape by French artist Claude Lorrain, and nearly one hundred Indian paintings. This publication also honors the many generous contributions from donors that make possible the continued growth of The Met's collection.
