About This Item
New York: Thames & Hudson, 1983. Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. First American Edition. 10 3/8" x 7 3/4". 208 pages, 255 illustrations, 8 in colour. The first comprehensive survey of England's unique contribution to the art of the Renaissance: the portrait miniature. Sir Roy Strong has had the unprecedented, and probably unrepeatable, opportunity of studying, under strict laboratory conditions in the Conservation Department of the Victoria and Albert Museum, the surviving English portrait miniatures painted between c. 1525 and c. 1620. Accompanying this with a rigorous study of the available documentary evidence, he has been able to re-assess the work of Nicholas Hilliard, publish for the first time that of Lucas Hornebolte, and present Isaac Oliver as a daring and original artist..
