About this collection60 items

Sixty Met painting records credited to Benjamin Altman’s 1913 bequest, retaining the museum’s current artist attributions.

Museum credit-line scope: fifty records correspond to the historic handbook’s fifty-one numbered paintings, including one paired Memling record; ten additional landscapes share the bequest credit. Not an Altman favorites list. Current workshop, follower, style, attributed-to and copy-after qualifications remain.
