The CourtauldHighlights from the Gallery

---

A revised and updated hardback edition of the book first published to mark the reopening of The Courtauld Gallery in late 2021. The Courtauld houses one of the United Kingdom's great art collections, displayed in the magnificent historical setting of Somerset House in central London. This publication presents a selection of its highlights – paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture and decorative arts – each beautifully illustrated and accompanied by insightful commentary. Notable among these treasures are remarkable Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, including the world-famous  A Bar at the Folies-Bergère by Édouard Manet and Vincent van Gogh's  Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear. This book is also an engaging account of how The Courtauld became an internationally renowned centre for the teaching and research of art history, conservation and curating. It was founded nearly a century ago in the belief that art has the power to enrich people's lives. The Courtauld continues that mission today, promoting the understanding of the visual arts and offering a place where everyone can find enjoyment and inspiration.
