Treasures from Budapest: European Masterpieces from Leonardo to Schiele

Published by Royal Academy Publications.
Edited by David Ekserdjian.

Leonardo, Raphael, Cranach, Rubens, Rembrandt, Poussin, Durer, Monet, Chagall, Picasso, and Schiele--these and other great European artists are represented in this superb book, which showcases one of Europe's finest but lesser-known art collections, that of the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest. The museum was formed in the 19th century by the Hungarian government, with the aim of creating a public collection through the acquisition of private collections. The most significant of these, the Esterhazy collection, included important Old Master paintings and fine Old Master drawings. Building on the Esterhazy works, the museum has continued to acquire European art dating from the 14th to the 20th centuries.

Over 200 works from the collection are reproduced here alongside a selection of works from the Hungarian National Gallery. Texts by eminent scholars explore the history of the museum and include entries on each work.
