Significantly, the first purchase made by the museum once acquisition endowments were set up was a print by Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), The Seven Trumpets (From the Apocalypse) other purchases, including prints by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, a drawing by Luca Cambiaso (1527–1585) and a painting by Francesco Solimena (1657–1747), followed. Today European art continues to be one of our collecting priorities, as we try to expand the story of art that our collection teaches. Myers, Sr.: the works they donated, starting in the 1950s and continuing through today, remain the core of our Old Masters collection, and include paintings by Gerolamo Bassano (1566-1621), Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo (1727-1804), Jean Baptiste LePrince (1734-1781), Thomas Lawrence (1769-1830), Franz De Paula Ferg (1689-1740), among others. Perhaps nobody has contributed as much to helping the Cornell become the only museum in the area to have remarkable European Old Masters than the family of John C.
