THE KING'S PICTURES: THE FORMATION AND DISPERSAL OF THE COLLECTIONS OF CHARLES I AND HIS COURTIERS
by Francis Haskell; Karen Serres
Published by Yale University Press. 1st. 2013
Fine condition in a very good dustwrapper. The greatest paintings in today's most famous museums were once part of a fluid exchange determined by volatile political fortunes. In the first half of the seventeenth century, masterpieces by Titian, Raphael and Leonardo, among others, were the object of fervent pursuit on the part of a network of art connoisseurs. Francis Haskell traces the fate of the collections extracted from Italy, Spain and France by King Charles I and his circle. Large format. Red cloth boards, gilt title to spine. Colour illustrations.
A fine copy. Pictorial dustwrapper is creased and scuffed to rear panel.
