The Chinese Cultural Revolution, 1966–76

combine with exquisite scholarship to deepen our understanding of the artistic life of
Maoist China.

Ken Thomson was no mere trophy gatherer. A man of passionate commitment and of wide-ranging
cultural curiosity, the late Lord Thomson of Fleet (1923-2006) began a half-century of collecting in
1953 and continued to do so until the very end of his life.
The Thomson Collection has drawn the respect of museum curators worldwide. In terms of
quantity and quality, the collection’s body of Canadian art has no equal; and a number of works,
principal among them The Massacre of the Innocents , the masterpiece of Rubens’s early maturity,
are of truly international significance. As the most important private art collection in Canada, it
will hugely extend the holdings of the Art Gallery of Ontario. Amongst its European works is the
fabulous twelfth-century Malmesbury reliquary casket, an extraordinary selection of medieval
ivories, and a fine group of portrait miniatures. A large and varied group of ship models is an
intriguing facet of the Collection.
