Description

IIllustrated cardboard cover in colour, 275 x 220 x 23 mm. ENG.edition, 255pp., profoundly illustrated in b/w and sepia. ISBN 9780521346511. This is the first major survey of drawing in seventeenth-century England. Two hundred masterpieces by 72 artists are catalogued and discussed. A large number of these are from the unrivalled collection of the British Museum, but many important drawings are also included from other major collections, both public and private, in Britain and North America, among them the Ashmolean Museum, the Chatsworth Settlement and the Yale Centre for British Art. Includes essays on foreign-born artists working in England; the styles, techniques, methods and purposes of drawing at this time; the role of patronage, and the increasing status of the artist in seventeenth century England. In good condition.
