    • "For the Winthrop collection’s international debut exhibition, curators at the Fogg Art Museum of the Harvard University Art Museums, headed by Stephan Wolohojian, organized the selection and invited more than sixty specialists to write on artworks in their particular area of expertise. Works include such highlights in their creator’s oeuvre as Jacques-Louis David’s sketchbooks for The Coronation of Napoleon and the Crowning of Josephine, Theodore Gericault’s Mutiny on the Raft of the Medusa, Vincent van Gogh’s The Blue Cart, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres’s Odalisque with the Slave, William Blake’s illustrations for the Divine Comedy, Dante Gabriel Rosetti’s Blessed Damozel, and James Abbott McNeill Whistler’s Nocturne in Blue and Silver. In addition, an essay by Wolohojian provides a fascinating and informative description of Winthrop and the growth of his collection." –BOOK JACKET
