The Robert Lehman Collection, IV: Illuminations

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. 4to (26.5 cm), XV, 240 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. The twenty-seven illuminations catalogued in this volume, part of a series cataloguing the more than two thousand works of art in the Robert Lehman Collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. "The miniatures and cuttings from medieval and Renaissance manuscripts in the Robert Lehman Collection represent the major schools of illumination that flourished in Europe from the fourteenth to the sixteenth century. Robert Lehman must have considered illuminations above all an extension of his great collection of Italian, French, German, and Netherlandish paintings. In a broader sense, they manifested one more facet of the interest in early European art that led him also to collect exceptional Netherlandish and German drawings of the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries." (from the publisher's description). Artikel-Nr. 008391
