Samuel H Kress Foundation

The Samuel H. Kress Foundation, based in New York, NY, is dedicated to advancing the history, conservation, and appreciation of European art, architecture, and archaeology from antiquity to the early 19th century. Through its programs, the Foundation offers grants and professional development fellowships to support scholars, conservators, curators, and educators in the arts.

In addition to its grant-making activities, the Kress Foundation maintains a significant collection of over 3,000 works of European art, particularly noted for its Italian Renaissance paintings, which have been donated to numerous regional and academic art museums. The Foundation also promotes open access to its digital images, allowing for broader usage of artworks in the public domain.
