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.
