| book description |

This new edition of The J. Paul Getty Museum Handbook of the Collection features over 380 of the museum's most beloved objects. It has been updated to include numerous exciting new acquisitions-such as Fire Island by Adger Cowans and Portrait of Mai (""Omai"") by Joshua Reynolds-and presents an overview of Getty's world-renowned collection and a history of the museum and its famous founder. From treasures of the ancient world and medieval manuscripts to Renaissance drawings, French furniture, Impressionist paintings, iconic American photographs, and much more, the handbook offers an indispensable look at the art at both the magnificently reimagined Getty Villa in Malibu and the dazzling Getty Center on a hilltop in Brentwood. Whether a regular visitor to the two sites or someone who hasn't yet made the trip, this richly illustrated and beautifully redesigned volume is a must-have for any art lover.
