Recent Acquisitions: A Selection, 2016–2018

Every two years the fall issue of the Met's quarterly Bulletin celebrates notable recent acquisitions and gifts to the collection. Highlights of Recent Acquisitions 2016–2018 includes Battle of the Little Bighorn by a Lakota artist who fought in that famous conflict as a young man, an exceedingly rare Chinese landscape from the tenth century that is the capstone of a gift of twelve important works from the Oscar L. Tang family, Francesco Salviati’s recently rediscovered portrait of the Florentine doctor Carlo Rimbotti, and examples of a Qur’an and a Hebrew Bible from medieval Spain. This publication also honors the many generous contributions from donors that make possible the continued growth of the Met's collection. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana}
