Histoire du portrait en cire
Seller: Mullen Books, ABAA, Marietta, PA, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Softcover. White wraps with color illus. Black lettering on spine. 234 pp. with 91 bw illus. Text in French. From ancient Rome to the last Hapsburg, this book traces the history of a practice which has played a significant role in the evolution of moving Western portraiture toward realism. Schlosser was among the first art historians to know about this isolated activity: using models dead or alive. In his afterword, Thomas Medicus analyzes the time and environment (the Vienna of Freud, the end of the Austro-Hungarian Empire) where Schlosser has developed its thinking on the portrait in wax. Julius von Schlosser (1866-1938), a leading art historian of the Vienna school, is best known in France for his monumental compilation: Artistic Literature (Flammarion).
