About this Item

Oblong volume, measuring approximately 8.75" x 8.5", is bound in brown leatherette, with stamped green lettering to spine and front cover. Book is in fine condition, with firm binding, clean and bright. Dust jacket shows moderate wear, with mild foxing and light soiling. Numerous illustrations. 88 pages. "The text provides a panoramic history of English painting from the death of Holbein to the arrival of Van Dyck. Essays on the leading artists working in Elizabethan and Jacobean England alternate with sections dealing with such as art and anti-art, Elizabethan chivalry, Gloriana, and melancholy; these sections discuss related matter in the form of music, manuscripts, books, armour, miniatures and applied art, and set the paintings into their historical and aesthetic context. The world of almost-forgotten artists, such as Gower and Peake, Larkin and Gheeraedts, is reconstructed and a whole century of English resurrected.". Seller Inventory # ABE-1666681251818
