Descrizione

First edition, 4to (270 x 220 mm), xxvi, 229, [1]pp., frontispiece, small neat library stamp to front endpaper, orig. cloth, untrimmed. A Descriptive catalogue of 114 Italian pictures in the collection of the Bensonís. ìDespite the publication of his catalogue, Bensonís collection is not well known today, probably because it was never the subject of a spectacular auction sale. [Joseph] Duveen bought the entire collection in 1927 and sold most of it to his American customers. Today Benson's pictures are dispersed across many leading museums in North America.îóStourton & Sebag-Montefiore. Stourton & Sebag-Montefiore, The British as Art Collectors, pp. 252-53.
