This large-format catalogue highlights one of the world's premiere collections of Asiatic art.

This is the most comprehensive overview available of the MFA's remarkable collection, in one lavishly illustrated, attractively priced volume.

Sun-kissed, charming, and sensual, the work of Pierre-Auguste Renoir champions painting at its most lighthearted and luminous. This essential artist introduction selects key works from his extensive oeuvre to explore his Impressionist innovations as much as his traditions in pursuit of beauty, harmony, and the female form.
