...still not too sure of the marriage." Small wonder. The marriage in question was Kress's gift to the National Gallery of 416 paintings and 35 sculptures from his own beloved collection-the beginning of the biggest art giveaway program since the Palatine Electress Anna Maria Ludovica, a Medici, gave her family's vast collection to the state of Tuscany...
