This sumptuous series introduces the reader to a vast gallery of surprising works of art, of neglected and undreamt wonders, of unusual and intriguing subjects. Like the walls of an eccentric and omnivorous museum, the pages of Quadreria present unknown or forgotten works of art salvaged from the obscurity of private collections and museum storerooms. A Wunderkammer exhibiting all manner of marvels, Quadreria beckons the visitor into secret palaces, allowing him or her to make comparisons between masterpieces which have been inaccessible for centuries.
