Descrizione
The Lugt Collection is now owned by the Fondation Custodia, which was created by Frits Lugt and his wife in 1947; and since 1953 it has been deposited at the Institut Néerlandais in Paris, which was also founded by them. The collection is as rich as it is varied; and it is above all rightly famous for its Old Master Drawings. The Italian drawings, nearly 500 in number, collected since the early 1920s, are less well known, as they have been rarely shown or published before. They are here for the first time given the attention they deserve, in a three-volume catalogue in which every drawing is reproduced and critically studied.
