The Kress Collection is a renowned assortment of European paintings and sculptures, primarily from the Renaissance to the Baroque periods. It was assembled by Samuel H. Kress, an American businessman and art collector, during the early 20th century. The collection includes works by notable artists such as Raphael, Titian, and Rembrandt, showcasing a diverse range of styles and techniques. In 1939, Kress donated a significant portion of his collection to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it remains on display. The collection is celebrated for its educational value and contribution to the appreciation of European art in the United States.
