...rard de Lairesse, a Botticelli Annunciation. Others are perhaps less familiar - Ingres's Portrait of the Princesse de Broglie, one of the supreme moments in 19th century art; a Sassetta Temptation of St. Anthony; Petrus Christus' Saint Eligius and assorted Flemish treasures; a splendid array of medieval and Renaissance panel paintings from Italy and northern Europe. Among the drawings- which, at the time of Lehman's death, was one of the greatest collections in private hands in the world - are such rarities as two highly finished studies by Rogier van der Weyden, a sketch by Leonardo...

Renaissance composers had a comparatively tiny palette, limited by the capabilities of the voice and a narrow conception of permissible sounds.
