Publisher's Synopsis
This new publication celebrates the International works of art from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries, which are kept together in the Budapest Museum of Fine Arts in what is now known as the Department of International Art after 1800.
The collection has never before been presented to the public in its full diversity until now, rich in terms of both size and quality, the catalogue presents a collection of almost 1,000 artworks, including 578 paintings, 160 sculptures, and 230 medals and plaquettes.
The publication can be considered a pioneering work: our aim was to provide as varied and extensive an overview of the collection as possible, taking into account how preferences and value judgements change over time.
