Because of the ivived interest in classical antiquity, the first iblic museums were composed almost entirely 1 works from ancient Greece and Rome.
Museums and art galleries in the United tates possess many home collections that are the equal E similar ones in Europe. In the fields of Renais-mce painting and sculpture and classical an-quities, however, European home collections acquired lany of the best works as they were produced or tcavated, before American home collections had been junded. For this reason many of the home collections ' highest quality in the fields of painting and ulpture in the United States are those of merican and recent European art. It is also i these fields that the most stimulating activities among United States art dealers may be found. |
