Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Illuminating three centuries of European artistry and ingenuity, this volume in The Mets acclaimed How to Read series provides a wide-ranging exploration of decorative arts from British writing tables to Russian snuffboxes Featuring 40 objects from ceramic teapots to gold chalices, this latest addition to The Mets How to Read series guides readers through a wide variety of decorative arts dating from the Renaissance to the start of the Industrial Revolution. The publication includes works by renowned masters like Jan van Mekeren and Andrea Boucheron, but also those by talented amateurs, such as the anonymous young woman who embroidered a casket with scenes from the Story of Esther. The geographic sources of the decorative arts represented span the Continent, from England, Spain, and France to Germany, Denmark, and Russia. In choosing the featured pieces, which range from furniture to tableware and from items of personal adornment to devotional objects, the author has sought out intriguing but less familiar examples, some previously unpublished. Discussing not only the art-historical relevance of the works but also pertinent social issues, including the role of women artists and the influence of colonial slavery, this is an indispensable resource on three hundred years of European decorative arts. Illuminating three centuries of European artistry and ingenuity, this volume in The Mets acclaimed How to Read series provides a wide-ranging exploration of decorative arts from British writing tables to Russian snuffboxes Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Etat : New. Illuminating three centuries of European artistry and ingenuity, this volume in The Met's acclaimed How to Read series provides a wide-ranging exploration of decorative arts from British writing tables to Russian snuffboxes Spanning three centuries of creativity, from the High Renaissance to the Industrial Revolution, this volume in The Met's How to Read series provides a peek into daily lives across Europe-from England, Spain, and France to Germany, Denmark, and Russia. Featuring 40 exemplary objects, including furniture, tableware, utilitarian items, articles of personal adornment, devotional objects, and display pieces, this publication covers many aspects of European society and lifestyles, from the modest to the fabulously wealthy. The book considers the contributions of renowned masters, such as the Dutch cabinetmaker Jan van Mekeren and the Italian goldsmith Andrea Boucheron, as well as talented amateurs, among them the anonymous young Englishwoman who embroidered an enchanting chest with scenes from the Story of Esther. The works selected include both masterpieces and less familiar examples, some of them previously unpublished, and are discussed not only in light of their art-historical importance but also with regard to the social issues relevant to each, such as the impact of colonial slavery or the changing status of women artists.
