"The Delaware Art Museum's world-renowned collection of more than 12,000 works of art focuses on American art and illustration from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century, as well as the English Pre-Raphaelite movement of the mid-nineteenth century." "The collections provide an overview of the evolution of American art, from Benjamin West, Frederic E. Church, Winslow Homer, and Howard Pyle, to Andrew Wyeth, Edward Hopper, and George Segal, as well as the country's largest collection of works by John Sloan. The Museum holds an extensive collection of English Pre-Raphaelite art, including works by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and Edward Burne-Jones." This illustrated guide examines the masterpieces from the collection, with an introduction to each section providing background information on the art, the major artists and their impact, as well as the significance of the collection to the art world in general. Each entry is accompanied by an extended caption and often a color detail of a key element within the work.
