| book description |

The Courtauld is one of the United Kingdomâ€™s great art collections, displayed throughout the magnificent historic setting of Somerset House in central London. This elegant book is a curated selection of its highlights â€” paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture and decorative arts â€” each beautifully illustrated and accompanied by an insightful commentary. Notable among these treasures are remarkable Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, including the world-famous A Bar at the Folies-BergÃ¨re by Ã‰douard Manet and Vincent van Goghâ€™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 peopleâ€™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.Â Â
