European sometime masters from the 16th-19th century

The Art Gallery of NSW did not commence upon collecting old masters until the 1950s, some eighty years later on its foundation. Previously, the smashing masters of the past could only exist experienced through copies intended for educational purposes.

The focus of the Gallery's acquisitions policy since the belatedly 19th century had been primarily on works past living artists – initially British, later Australian and European.

Betwixt 1951 and 1976, the Gallery caused an outstanding group of English 18th-century portraits, including works past iii of the leading painters of the historic period: William Hogarth, Thomas Gainsborough and Joshua Reynolds.

During these years the Gallery also purchased landscapes and subject pictures representative of British Neo-Classicism and Romanticism by artists such as Richard Wilson, John Glover, Richard Westall, William Hamilton and Francis Danby.

Although accessions of not-British painting were rare, 3 powerful and imposing figural compositions by the Baroque painters Bernardo Strozzi, Jan van Bijlert and Matthias Stomer expanded the scope and ambition of the collection.

The extraordinary donation by James Fairfax Air conditioning during the 1990s significantly enriched the Gallery'due south holdings of European old masters, specially in the surface area of 18th-century French and Italian fine art. Notable examples include works by Nicolas de Largillierre and Canaletto.

The collection has connected to develop in more recent times with the acquisition of major Italian Renaissance and Baroque works – such every bit the intense and imposing altarpiece past Giulio Cesare Procaccini.

These paintings remind us of what is constant in human experience and emotion while offering an insight into ages and cultures and then dissimilar from our own.
