Masterpieces of Painting in the J. Paul Getty Museum

Close

The J. Paul Getty Museum’s paintings collection ranges from the fourteenth to the end of the nineteenth century. Among the finest examples of early Renaissance painting are the Madonna and Child by the Master of Saint Cecilia, Masaccio’s Saint Andrew, and Gentile da Fabriano’s richly painted Coronation of the Virgin. Typical of the High Renaissance are Andrea Mantegna’s splendid Adoration of the Magi and Fra Bartolommeo’s Rest on the Flight into Egypt. The art of the Netherlands in its Golden Age is represented by Jan Brueghel’s much-loved painting The Entry of the Animals into Noah’s Ark and by The Return from War, which he painted with Peter Paul Rubens, as well as a newly acquired and magnificent landscape by Hobbema, Rembrandt’s Abduction of Europa, and Jan Steen’s Drawing Lesson. Painting in France ranges from recently acquisitioned works by Poussin, Fragonard, and Lancret, through the Impressionism of Monet’s seminal Sunrise and his Rouen Cathedral, while the modern age is exemplified by the Irises of Vincent van Gogh, Fernand Khnopff’s Jeanne Kéfer, and Cézanne’s Still Life with Apples.
