Product Details
Hardcover: 64 pages
Publisher: J. Paul Getty Museum; 1 edition (June 5, 2003)
I am so pleased with the gorgeous fine art in this whole series of small books (I bought all 3). This one has particularly fine art reproductions. Buyers, just be aware this book series are all rather small books but very well bound. I was a little surprised when I received the first one because I had not noted the book dimensions. But I was so pleased that I went ahead and bought the other 2.

The Art Of The Pen is a lavishly beautiful, full-color reproduction of classical works of calligraphy and miniature painting drawn from the era of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II. These selected pages from the "Mira calligraphiae monumenta" or Model Book of Calligraphy, one of the major manuscripts in the J. Paul Getty Museum collection, The Art Of The Pen is enthusiastically recommended to calligraphy enthusiasts as a rapturously enticing work of exquisite artwork that transcends the test of time.

If you love botanical illustrations you will love this book, but it is so small. I would love to see it twice as larger. Anyway, it is shrink-wrapped so that is really neat.

I was looking for a specific page from Mira Calligraphiae, but since I couldn't see inside, I couldn't tell which of the two books (this or Nature Illuminated) had it. I still haven't seen Nature Illuminated, but this book has the red page numbers: 3, 7, 9, 11, 19, 22, 25, 31, 33-38, 40, 41, 44, 45, 49, 50, 54, 55, 57, 61-64, 67, 68, 74, 77, 82, 84, 87, 90, 93, 96, 98, a black page without a number, 108, 110, 111, 116, 117, another dark background, and 119. I'm hoping that folio 52 will be in the other book.<br /><br />Also, they don't show all the funny backs to the pages (with stems passing through the paper). A few, not all.
