Description:
-Princeton University Press, 1996-. First edition. xi+197 pages with index. Cloth. Fine in dustjacket. In Paris during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the practice of adopting children was strongly discouraged by cultural, religious, and legal authorities on the grounds that it disrupted family blood lines. In fact, historians have assumed that adoption had generally not been practiced in France or in the rest of Europe since late antiquity. Challenging this view, Kristin Gager brings to light evidence showing how married couples and single men and women from the artisan neighbourhoods in early modern Paris did manage to adopt children as their legal heirs. In so doing, she offers a new, richly detailed portrait of family life, civil law, and public assistance in Paris, and reveals how citizens forged a wide variety of family forms in defiance of social, cultural, and legal norms. Gager bases her work on documents ranging from previously unexplored notarised contracts of adoption to court…

Description:
-Tate Publishing (15 Oct. 2002)-. Exhibition catalogue. First paperback editon. 295x235mm 296 pages. Illustrated in colour and black and white. Paperback. Very good indeed. This work looks at the art of Thomas Gainsborough, widely acknowledged as one of the great masters of the 18th century. Published to accompany a major exhibition at the Tate Britain the text aims to demonstrate the sheer range, quality and originality of this artist's work. It intends to present a new angle of the artist, exploring his studio practice and innovative use of colour as well as highlighting the inventiveness and complexity of his techniques. Gainsborough shunned the theory-led practice of the Royal Academy in preference for an art based on pleasure over convention, this volume draws on the view that his work has a continuing significance for British culture today. We are specialists in Catalogues: Exhibitions, Auctions, Collections, etc., with a picture of the cover available on request. All items are as described…

Description:
-Liverpool University Press, 1999-. First edition. 285x200mm xvi+325 pages with index. 185 illustrations in color and black and white. Cloth. Very good indeed in dustjacket. Thomas Gainsborough has been celebrated as a lanscapist whose pictures evoke his love of the countryside, as a portrait painter of exactness and vivacity, and as a rhythmic and spontaneous draughtsman. Such judgements have persistently created a difficulty for art criticism. Gainsborough's work is not satisfactorily accounted for by the classicizing academic criteria which aspired to be the official art theory of his period. It is not sufficient to label him an anti-intellectual, natural genius. Paying equal attention to portraits, landscapes and fancy pictures, this work aims to demonstrate that Gainsborough's work demands an alternative explanatory framework. Analysis of individual pictures, supp orted by illustrations and citations, suggest a variety of 18th-century contexts for Gainsborough's achievements: the populist and…

-Cambridge University Press, 1991-. xvi+310 pages with index. Cloth. Fine in dustjacket. Every case of sanctification is unique - as unique as the holy man or woman at its centre. Yet at the same time the problem posed is a general one: how does an individual become a Saint? In this bold and pioneering study the author answers the question by providing a detailed analysis of the case of the late twelfth- and early thirteenth-century Byzantine holy man, the Cypriot Saint Neophytos the Recluse.

-Antique Collectors' Club Ltd (5 Dec. 2013)-. Catalogue. First edition. 305x240mm 240 pages. Illustrated in colour. Cloth. New. Unopened in publishers original shrink-wrap. Fine in dustjacket. Although renowned for his work as a verrier, lamps did not form a significant part of Gallé's repertoire in glass until immediately prior to 1900. Indeed, only in the last few years of his life does it appear that he realised the full aesthetic potential of opalescent glass viewed by transmitted light. In an Art Nouveau context, Gallé's creations reached their apogee between 1900 and his death in 1904, a brief period during which he adapted the shape of much of his glassware to its theme. Vases decorated with lilies became lily-shaped in a marriage of form and function. Fully-ripened gourds pendent on their vines glowed from within at the touch of a switch. Mushroom lamps brought the concept to full embodiment in the metamorphosis of the giant fungi into light fixtures. This comprehensive volume catalogues the…
