Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The Medici family ruled unofficially and later as dukes the city of Florence and Tuscany, from the end of 14th to the end of the 18th century. Under their patronage the Renaissance was born. The members of this powerful family were able to build their public image in a sophisticated cultural environment where famous artists such as Raphael, Pontormo, Bronzino, Vasari, as well as poets, men of letters, scientists, humanists, were active. Portraits played an important role in this public relations strategy. The portrait types were quite different: from State portraits to family portraits, from those depicting the young heirs of the family name to those of the women that either ruled or played important roles in the dynastic allegiances. In this guide the marvellous works, held in Florence's Uffizi Gallery and Palazzo Pitti, are presented in chronological order making possible to trace the main stages in the history and genealogy of the Medici family. AUTHOR: Adele Milozzi is an art historian, her studies are concentrated around two major poles - Tuscan-Emilian painting of the 16th century and Italian photography in the 20th century. She is currently a doctoral candidate at the University of Roma Tre with a research project on colour photography in the context of the Italian landscape school. SELLING POINTS: . The Medicis are so well-known that the recent series Medici: Masters of Florence was broadcast in 190 countries . These are the portraits that the family kept for itself and they are housed in the museums (Uffizi and Pitti Palace) that house their collections 40 colour illustrations A guide to the fabulous portraits of the Medicis, rulers of Florence and Tuscany, held at the Uffizi Gallery and Pitti Palace.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Dutch landscape painter of the late 18th century, Barend Hendrik Thier has been almost completely forgotten. A recent discovery, the attribution of twelve still intact sketchbooks, has brought him back into the limelight, making him by far the 18th century Dutch artist for whom we have the greatest number of sketchbook. This fortunate discovery reveals a completely new side to his work, a more intimate and spontaneous approach to nature than his finished drawings for the market, and this sketchbook formerly in the Rothschild collection is perhaps the finest testimony to his art as a landscape painter, distinguished by his ability to capture and render the variations of light in the Dutch countryside. The 70 pages of the carnet in portrait format are also used horizontally, in double pages, to depict mainly the surroundings of Leiden, but there are also sketches of birds and natural landscapes. Text in French. AUTHOR: Olivia Savatier Sjoeholm joined the departement des Arts graphiques of the Louvre in 2012, after an initial post at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Rennes. As assistant to the department's director, she is in charge of the Ecoles du Nord's and restoration monitoring; she has co-curated several exhibitions. SELLING POINTS: .

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. n 1917 Pablo Picasso traveled to Rome and Naples with Jean Cocteau and Igor Stravinskij. During this trip, for the first time, he could admire directly Hellenistic and Roman sculpture, that of the Renaissance and Baroque eras, but also the Roman frescoes of Pompei. The first exhibition dedicated to Picasso's sculpture to be held in Rome, and its accompanying catalogue, are conceived as a journey through the centuries that chronologically follows the interpretation of forms and different themes - stories and myths, bodies and figures, objects and fragments - in sculpture. The exhibition of masterpieces of the great Spanish master is accompanied by previously unpublished images of his sculpture studios (by Edward Quinn) that narrate the context in which these works were born. The catalogue includes essays that explore the visual and conceptual dialogue between the works of Picasso and works of the past, illustrating and examining over fifty works, some of which have never been exhibited before. AUTHORS: Diana Widmaier-Picasso is an art historian specialised in modern art and drawings of the old masters. She has curated numerous exhibitions and she is preparing the catalogue raisonne of the over 2000 sculptures by Pablo Picasso. Anna Coliva is the director of the Galleria Borghese. She has been responsible for the conservation work on the gallery and new layout of its artworks. She has curated over twenty exhibitions held there and edited the respective catalogues. SELLING POINT: Picasso's contribution to the revitalisation of modern sculptures cannot be underestimated. His work of over fifty years is examined in six essays and illustrated by more than 50 exhibited works 160 colour, 41 b/w images In 1917 Pablo Picasso travelled to Rome and Naples with Jean Cocteau and Igor Stravinskij. The catalogue includes essays that explore the visual and conceptual dialogue between the works of Picasso and works of the past, illustrating and examining over fifty works, some of which have never been exhibited before.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. The mention of Mongiardino still elicits instant reverence. With his alchemic blurring of eras, the sheer scope and commitment of his massive projects and insistence on valuing ambience above so-called authenticity, he attained mythic stature." - The New York Times Style Magazine. Roomscapes is not only a beautiful testament to Mongiardino's imaginative creations, the magnificent rooms he re-shaped and decorated in ancient Italian and Parisian palaces, English houses, New York apartments, but it is an important text that analyses space, function, decoration and lighting of rooms. It is meant as a guide to conceive spaces that are inhabited through time and by time. Sketches, drawings, and models by Mongiardino, next to the images of the finished rooms, make the creative process clear and showcase his extraordinary ability and taste. The re-issue of the famous text first published in 1993, by Renzo Mongiardino, one of the most celebrated interior architects of the 20th century.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Paris cats have been celebrated by painters, writers and chansonniers since the 19th century, when Steinlein created the poster for the cabaret 'Le Chat noir'. An important place among these artists is occupied by Lila De Nobili, who moved to the French capital in 1945 and never left the 6th arrondissement, its quintessential neighbourhood. She painted and designed stage sets for the Scala in Milan, the Opera in Paris, the Covent Garden in London and many other theatres. Sought by the most famous directors, she designed costumes for Maria Callas, Edith Piaf, Audrey Hepburn and Ingrid Bergman. Just after the events of May 1968, she devoted herself exclusively to painting and adopted her first cat, Ulysse, in her apartment in rue de Verneuil. The feline family soon grew and Lila never tired of sketching them, drawing them, or painting them in watercolour. Most of these intimate works, full of insight and subtlety, were gifted to a friend, herself a cat lover, by Lila in her last years and thanks to this collection a book can now be published. AUTHOR: Lila De Nobili (1916-2002) was a painter, stage designer and costume designer. Of Italian and Jewish Hungarian parents, she was born in Castagnola (Canton Ticino, Switzerland). She moved to Paris in 1945 where she began her career as fashion illustrator for Vogue. In 1947 she started her career as stage and costume designer working for the most celebrated directors such as Raymond Rouleau, Luchino Visconti, Franco Zeffirelli, Peter Hall, Giancarlo Menotti. Considered 'the last great protagonist of the painted set', she retired from stage design at the end of the Sixties, to dedicate herself exclusively to painting. Claudie Gastine studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Marseille, her birthplace, and moved to Paris in 1960. She met Lila De Nobili at the Comedie Francaise and from her she learned stage and costume design for theatre and opera. She has worked behind the scenes for the past forty years. Francesca Simone is a restorer of paintings, and lives in Milan. The niece of Renzo Mongiardino, she curated his archive and was the editor of the new edition of Roomscapes (2017). Close to Lila De Nobili because of old family ties, she preserves many letters and works of art by her. SELLING POINTS: . A wonderful gift for all cat lovers . Finely drawn sketches, portraits and fantasies by one of the major theatre and opera stage and costume designers of the 20th century . Most of the watercolours and pencil drawings of her cats by Lila De Nobili included here are previously unpublished 118 colour illustrations The intimate drawings and watercolors of her cats by celebrated stage and costume designer Lila De Nobili, sketched in her Parisian apartment in the 6th arrondissement.

Raphael arrived in Rome in 1508 and remained there until his death in 1520, working as painter and architect for popes Julius II and Leo X and for the most prestigious patrons.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. November 19, 1479: a dynastic alliance, two noble scions, a regal wedding, short-lived and with an unhappy ending. These pages reconstruct the story of the magnificent bas relief in the Acton Collection (Villa La Pietra, Florence), commissioned to celebrate the marriage between Antonio Basso Della Rovere, nephew of Pope Sixtus IV, and Caterina Marzano d'Aragona, the niece of King Ferdinand I of Naples. The heraldic symbols of the three coats of arms leave no doubt about the identities of the characters and events surrounding its creation, and lead us to the original location of the work, born as the overdoor to the main portal of the Basso Della Rovere Palace in piazza della Maddalena in Savona. Through close examination of the Della Rovere in Rome, this study highlights some previously unknown facts about the family's origins and returns to Savona and its role as a political, cultural, and artistic protagonist in late 15th-century Italy. AUTHOR: Mauro Mussolin, historian of art and architecture, has published on sacred space and collective rituals, architecture and local identity, religious orders and cities, and architectural models drawings and projects by Michelangelo. 46 colour, 10 b/w images The story of the magnificent bas relief commissioned to celebrate the marriage between the nephew of Pope Sixtus IV and the niece of King Ferdinand I of Naples.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The catalogue presents Christ Carrying the Cross, recently rediscovered by Carlo Falciani in a private collection, which was born out of the intense friendship between the painter and art historian Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574) with Bindo Altoviti (1491-1557), important banker and refined art collector and patron. The artwork was painted in 1553, just before Vasari's return to Florence to take service as court painter of the Duke Cosimo I de' Medici. The painting shows the extremely high quality reached by Vasari's production in Rome - where he was working for Pope Julius III and where the Florentine banker Bindo Altoviti had a palace and conducted business - and, at the same time, it shows the experimentations of his manner, characterised by the re-elaboration of modern and contemporary models, in this case works of Michelangelo, Francesco Salviati and Sebastiano del Piombo. AUTHORS: Barbara Agosti is professor of History of Art and of Art Criticism at the University of Rome 'Tor Vergata'. Her books include a monograph on Paolo Giovio historian of the arts and one on genesis of Vasari's Lives of the Artists. Michela Corso is a researcher at the University of Rome 'Tor Vergata'. She has written contributions on Mannerist painting and draftsmanship. Carlo Falciani is professor of Art History at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. He has written a monograph of Rosso Fiorentino and curated and co-curated exhibitions on Bronzino, Pontormo and Rosso, and portrait painting at the Medicis' court. SELLING POINTS: . Recently rediscovered, Vasari's Christ Carrying the Cross has never been published in such detail . A masterpiece in Vasari's oeuvre: it really stands out in his production . Documents the friendship between Vasari and Bindo Altoviti, important collector and patrons of the arts . New information on Altoviti, whose art patronage was investigated in a 2003 exhibit in Boston . Published to accompany an exhibition at the Gallerie Nazionali Barberini Corsini, Palazzo Corsini, Rome from 24 January, to 30 June 2019 32 colour images The catalogue presents the recently rediscovered Christ Carrying the Cross by the mannerist artist Giorgio Vasari and painted in Rome in 1553 for Bindo Altoviti, banker and art collector.

Angry, outrageous, defiant, and courageous are some of the words that describe the American Abstract Expressionist artist Lee Krasner (1908-1984) - the subject of this very personal memoir inspired by Ruth Appelhof's 1974 summer with her in East Hampton, Long Island. Best remembered by many as Jackson Pollock's widow, she is regarded more by 'art-world insiders' as the producer of a major body of work that influenced the evolution of contemporary art - in particular, that made by women in the 20th and 21st centuries. As a scholar and a friend, Appelhof re-examines Krasner's contributions in light of the intellectual and emotional experiences that she so candidly shared with her in weeks of interviews. In addition, Appelhof explores Lee Krasner's relationships with others - friends, art-world luminaries, artists, and other 'summer sitters' allowed into her private sanctuary - through interviews. Those recollections will offer a window into the artist's intense and idiosyncratic personal life as well as into her contributions through the groundbreaking work she produced over the course of more than six decades. AUTHOR: Ruth Appelhof, Executive Director Emerita of Guild Hall in East Hampton, New York, earned her Ph.D. from Syracuse University having written her dissertation on American Modernism. Her museum career started at the Whitney Museum as a Helena Rubenstein Fellow. Since then she has directed museums across the country. In 2017 Appelhof was a visiting scholar at the American Academy in Rome and is currently a Fellow at the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center. SELLING POINTS: .

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. This biography traces Anne Eisner's life and art between cultures: from her early years and artistic career in New York, through living at the edge of the Ituri Forest in the ex-Belgian Congo (now Democratic Republic of the Congo), to her return to New York. Eisner came of age in the 1930s and 1940s, with the struggle among artists and intellectuals to combat fascism and create a better world. Leaving behind a successful career as a painter, Anne followed anthropologist Patrick Putnam, with whom she fell in love, to the multi-cultural community of Epulu. As an American woman and painter, her focus on cultural and aesthetic values, her belief in freedom and equality, brought an eccentric perspective to the colonial context. Unanticipated challenges forced her to think about who she was, as she agreed to marry under unfamiliar conditions, became one of the mothers, hosted researchers and tourists, and attempted to care for Putnam in his tragic decline. That her art sustained her throughout as a discipline (sketching, drawing, painting) reveals to what extent Anne was able to express joy in creativity; the beauty of her art testifies to its transformative power.

A literary historian, as well as cultural critic and theorist, McDonald is the author or editor of many books and articles on literature, philosophy, anthropology, feminist theory, women's writing, and the arts. Her publications include, among others: Images of Congo: Anne Eisner's Art and Ethnology, 1946-58 (ed., 2005); Painting My World: The Art of Dorothy Eisner (ed., 2009).
