Description
A collection of photographs covering Netherlandish (Dutch and Flemish) paintings and drawings
of the 14th through 16th centuries assembled by the Getty Research Institute.
Background
In 1974, the J. Paul Getty Museum began assembling a "photo library" by consolidating the visual resources of each existing
curatorial
department. By the early 1980s, the Photo Archive was actively acquiring large collections of photographs from commercial
and private sources
and scholars' archives that contained a photographic component. In 1983, the nearly one million photographs of the Photo Archive
were
incorporated into the Research Institute's Special Collections and renamed the Photo Study Collection.
