About This Item

Los Angeles: The J Paul Getty Museum, 2001.. Objects of Virtue explores the multiple meanings and values of the objects with which families like the Medici, Este, and Gonzaga surrounded themselves. It examines...the complicated relationships between the so-called "fine arts" - painting and sculpture - and artifacts of other kinds for which artistry might be as important as utility - furniture, jewelry, and vessels made of gold, silver, and bronze, precious and semi-precious stone, glass, and ceramic. 28cms x 22cms x 2cms. Pp.288, 136 colour and 79 black & white illustrations. Black cloth, dustwrapper has (pencil?) indentations to rear. VG/G+.
