Editorial Reviews

Review

' ... a thought-provoking contextual study which represents a significant step forward in the art-historical appraisal of Tullio Lombardo, as well as of Venetian Renaissance sculpture as a whole. It is certainly one of the most rewarding books published recently in this field.' Joachim Strupp, The Art Book --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

Product Description

This volume explores a group of the Gallery's decorative arts, mainly drawn from the renowned collections of the Widener and Steele families. The focus of the catalogue is on the collection of Chinese ceramics, which ranges from earthenware and stoneware to polychrome procelain, with a concentration on pieces from the Qing dynasty (1644-1722). The carpets from Lynnewood Hall, P.A.B. Widener's home in Pennsylvania, are also catalogued and published here for the first time.
