      The article focuses on the work of Philippe de Montebello, the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It examines acquisitions made by the museum during his tenure, which began in 1977, and exhibitions undertaken. Particular focus is given to the importance of books and catalogs produced by the museum to accompany its exhibitions, including "Poussin and Nature: Arcadian Visions," and "Tapestry in the Renaissance: Art and Magnificence."
