In this book the museum publishes the specialist collections in Byzantine and Pre-Columbian art, along with examples from the Blissesâ superb European collection, for the first time. When Robert Bliss recalled handling a jade Olmec figurine in 1913, he said, âThat day, the collectorâs microbe took root inâ"it must be confessedâ"very fertile soil.â The Blissesâ passion for art bore fruit in a remarkably diverse collection: Flemish tapestries, Renaissance furniture, and paintings by the likes of El Greco, Renoir, and Degas. The celebrated Byzantine collection includes floor mosaics from late antique Antioch, sumptuous jewelry, carved ivory reliefs, liturgical silver, and a comprehensive coin and seals collection. The Pre-Columbian collection showcases fine jade carvings, gold jewelry, monumental sculpture, ritual weaponry, colorful ceramics, and intricately woven textiles. The publication of this new guidebook coincides with the complete refurbishment of Dumbarton Oaks and the creative reinstallation of the galleries. The curators offer highlights of the collection, accompanied by a lucid and thought-provoking text. Dumbarton Oaksâ"The Collections is intended as a valuable resource and a pleasure to read for scholars and nonspecialists alike.
