The present volume began as an amplification of my much smaller book, published in 1963, about the National Gallery of Art. Although some of the text is repeated, this is now a totally new book, including sections on sculpture and drawings and illustrating all the major works of art in the Gallery's collections...This sumptuous volume is the first book devoted to a museum ever to reproduce so many works of art in full color....1,120 illustrations, including 1,028 plates in full color...
