Drawings and Watercolours in the Calouste Gulbenkian Collection

The catalog presents one of the most refined selections of European works on paper assembled by Calouste Gulbenkian. This art book spans the Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo and nineteenth century, bringing together sheets by Italian, French, Dutch and British masters.

The publication includes figure studies, landscape drawings, architectural studies and watercolours that illustrate the evolution of artistic practice across several centuries. Each work is accompanied by detailed attribution, material analysis, provenance notes and comparative references to major museum collections.

Prepared by specialists of the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, the catalogue serves as an essential resource for curators, collectors, art historians and readers interested in the history of European draftsmanship.
