- This second catalogue from the Fondation Gandur pour l'Art focuses on the art of living, offering a unique overview of European creativity in this specific field. The first volume is The Decorative Arts: Volume 1: Sculptures, enamels, maiolicas and tapestries, ISBN 9788874399413
- A rich historical period: the catalogue covers a period from the dawn of the Renaissance to the end of the Enlightenment
- Each object is placed in its social, cultural and religious context, providing a better understanding of its meaning and function
- This reference work is a valuable tool for scholars, collectors and art lovers interested in European decorative arts
Following a first volume devoted to secular and sacred objects and sculptures from the 12th to the 18th centuries, this second catalogue in the decorative arts collection of the Fondation Gandur pour l'Art focuses specifically on the art of living. Furniture, caskets, boxes, clocks, lamps, turned ivories and gold and silver cups from the dawn of the Renaissance to the end of the Age of Enlightenment provide a panoply of strictly decorative European creativeness.
Edited by Fabienne Fravalo, curator of the decorative arts collection at the Fondation Gandur pour l'Art, this catalogue is introduced by two essays, written respectively by Sophie Mouquin, lecturer at the University of Lille, and Caroline Heering, professor at the Catholic University of Leuven. It presents the major objects in the collection, studied and analysed by curators and scholars working in German, American, English, Belgian, French and Swiss institutions.
