La Wallace Collection est peut-être la plus grande collection d'art unique jamais offerte à une nation. Cela est dû à Sir Richard Wallace. Né en 1818, Wallace était un philanthrope exceptionnellement généreux et empathique à une époque réputée pour sa forte philosophie philanthropique. Il s'agit du premier compte rendu détaillé de la vie et de l'héritage de Sir Richard Wallace. Richement illustré de plus de 490 photos, il comprend de nombreuses informations nouvelles sur ses origines mystérieuses et sa vie fascinante en Angleterre, en Irlande et en France. Cet automne, la Wallace Collection publiera un livre richement illustré sur le célèbre connaisseur, collectionneur et philanthrope Sir Richard Wallace (1818 1890) pour marquer le bicentenaire de sa naissance. Écrit par la conservatrice Suzanne Higgott, et contenant de nombreuses informations nouvelles et des photographies inédites, le livre explore la vie fascinante aux multiples facettes et la collection d'art exceptionnelle de Wallace. « L'homme le plus chanceux de son époque » : Sir Richard Wallace : Connoisseur, Collector & Philanthropist sera publié simultanément dans les éditions anglaise et française de Pallas Athene. Il comprendra environ 200 images. Suzanne Higgott, conservatrice de la Wallace Collection of Glass, Limoges Painted Enamels, Earthenware and Early Furniture, a effectué des recherches et publié sur les intérêts de collectionneur de Sir Richard Wallace et sa contribution personnelle à la Wallace Collection dans son nouveau livre Sir Richard Wallace : Connoisseur, Collector & Philanthropist.

Paperback. Etat : New. The Wallace Collection is perhaps the greatest single art collection ever gifted to a nation. That this came about is due to Sir Richard Wallace. Born in 1818, Wallace was a philanthropist during a period renowned for its strong philanthropic ethos. He was already an acknowledged connoisseur when, in 1870, he unexpectedly inherited the celebrated art collection of Richard Seymour-Conway, 4th Marquess of Hertford, together with great wealth. This remarkable windfall enabled him to indulge his twin passions: collecting, and enriching public education through art. Although he died in 1890 without having bequeathed his collection at Hertford House in London to the nation, his French widow, Lady Wallace, was undoubtedly fulfilling his wishes in doing so on her death in 1897. This is the first book exclusively dedicated to Sir Richard Wallace. Lavishly illustrated with more than 490 pictures, it includes much new information about his mysterious origins and his fascinating life in England, Ireland and France.Text in French.
