Description

The holdings in the old master painting collection were developed almost entirely by Henry Walters, although they have been supplemented in recent years by superb gifts and excellent, if infrequent, purchases. The core of Renaissance and Baroque paintings came with the purchase in 1902 of 1500 works from Rome's Massarenti collection. This massive acquisition inspired Henry Walters to build the great Renaissance Revival structure whose restoration and return to the public was completed in 1988. - Preface.
