NGC 4472, the brightest elliptical galaxy in the Virgo cluster, has a rich globular cluster system. We present a study of the metallicity and luminosity functions of a large number of globular clusters in NGC 4472. Deep Washington CT1 photometry of a wide (16′ × 16′) field of NGC 4472 was obtained using Tek 2048 × 2048 CCD at the KPNO 4m telescope.
