<p>The J. Paul Getty Museum's paintings collection ranges from the fourteenth to the end of the nineteenth century. Among the finest examples of early Renaissance painting are the <i>Madonna and Child</i> by the Master of Saint Cecilia, Masaccio's <i>Saint Andrew</i>, and Gentile da Fabriano's richly painted <i>Coronation of the Virgin. </i>Typical of the High Renaissance are Andrea Mantegna's splendid <i>Adoration of the Magi</i> and Fra Bartolommeo's <i>Rest on the Flight into Egypt</i>. The art of the Netherlands in its Golden Age is represented by Jan Brueghel's much-loved painting <i>The Entry of the Animals into Noah's Ark </i>and by <i>The Return from War, </i>which he painted with Peter Paul Rubens, as well as a newly acquired and magnificent landscape by Hobbema, Rembrandt's <i>Abduction of Europa</i>, and Jan Steen's <i>Drawing Lesson</i>. Painting in France ranges from recently acquisitioned works by Poussin, Fragonard, and Lancret, through the Impressionism of Monet's seminal <i>Sunrise</i> and his <i>Rouen Cathedral, </i>while the modern age is exemplified by the <i>Irises </i>of Vincent van Gogh. Fernand Khnopff's <i>Jeanne Kéfer</i>, and Cézanne's <i>Still Life with Apples.</i></p><p><i> <br></i></p>
