Samuel H. Kress Collection

United States · 62 works · 43 painters

The Samuel H. Kress Collection is a group of paintings held in the United States, although the record does not give the city where it is housed. Its name comes from Samuel H. Kress, with whom the collection is associated. Judging by the works gathered on the website, its core is Italian painting, ranging from early works of the Trecento and Quattrocento to Venetian painting of the Cinquecento and the eighteenth century, though Flemish, French and Dutch works also appear.

Titian is the most represented painter, with six works, including Portrait of Cardinal Pietro Bembo, Doge Andrea Gritti and Portrait of Ranuccio Farnesio. Lorenzo Lotto follows with Allegory of Vice and Virtue and Allegory of Chastity, then Antonio Allegri da Correggio, with Madonna and Child and Mystical Marriage of Saint Catherine, and Giovanni Bellini, with Giovanni Emo and Bacchus as a Child. Francesco del Cossa also has three works listed, though none of them is among the highlighted pictures in the selection.

Beyond Italy, the collection includes Rubens, with Portrait of the Marchesa Brigida Spinola-Doria; Van Dyck, with Queen Henrietta Maria with Sir Jeffrey Hudson and a Monkey; Ingres, with Charles Marcotte d'Argenteuil; and Bosch, with The Death of the Miser. Among the early painters, Fra Angelico stands out with Adoration of the Magi, and Duccio with The Calling of the Apostles Peter and Andrew.

The website holds 62 paintings from this collection, which gives a sense of its weight within the catalogue.
