    Hardcover. Condition: Used - Like New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. In this volume, forty-two remarkable paintings collected by Robert Lehman and his father, Philip Lehman, are discussed at length in light of recent technical and art historical research. This is the eighth in a projected series of sixteen volumes that will catalogue the entire Robert Lehman Collection at the Metropolitan Museum. Among the works catalogued here are Petrus Christus's 'Goldsmith in His Shop' of 1449, which is justly famous as one of the first northern European paintings to depict everyday life, and Hans Memling's 'Portrait of a Young Man' (ca. 1475-80), in which the sitter is posed before a landscape, a formula that had lasting repercussions in Italian as well as Northern art. Also included is Memling's 'Annunciation, ' one of his finest and most original works. Well-known paintings by Simon Marmion, Jean Hey, Gerard David, Lucas Cranach the Elder and Younger, Hans Holbein, Gerard Terborch, Pieter de Hooch, Rembrandt, and El Greco all represent in their own way the best of the era and place in which they were created, as do masterful portraits by Francisco de Goya, George Romney, and Sir Henry Raeburn. All the paintings in the Robert Lehman Collection are reproduced in full color, supplemented by numerous comparative duotone illustrations. Very nice, clean, like-new copy free of any marks. Wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector.…

Please feel free to ask for particulars and/or additional photographs. . Robert Owen Lehman, Sr. (1891 1969) was an American banker, longtime head of the Lehman Brothers investment bank, and a race-horse owner, art collector, and philanthropist. For six decades, Lehman built upon an art collection that his father began at their 7 West 54th Street house in 1911. Lehman devoted a great deal of time and energy as a long-time member of the Board of Trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and finally becoming the first chairman of the board at the Metropolitan in the 1960s. The importance of his collection became such that in 1957, nearly three hundred works were used for a solo exhibition at the Louvre Museum's Musée de l'Orangerie in the Tuileries Gardens in Paris. At that time, his was the only private American collection to be given that honor. In 1968 he received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Yale University for having "enhanced the civic life, the culture, and the artistic development of our civilization." After his death in 1969, the Robert Lehman Foundation donated close to 3,000 works of art to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, including Henri Matisse, Francisco Goya, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Édouard Vuillard, Auguste Rodin, André Dunoyer de Segonzac, Maurice de Vlaminck, and Suzanne Valadon.[4] Housed in the Robert Lehman Wing, which opened to the public in 1975, the museum has called it "one of the most extraordinary private art collections ever assembled in the United States."To this day, his Foundation remains active, operating the Robert Lehman Art Lecture Fund and sponsoring exhibitions in museums, both around the U.S. and worldwide. Other philanthropic activities include support for PBS television programming. The Robert Lehman Art Center at Brooks School in North Andover, Massachusetts, is named in his honor.…

    Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Two volume set. The format is approximately 14 inches by 18.5 inches. With One Hundred Forty-Five Plates, and One Hundred Eighty Illustrations in the Text. Footnotes. Chronological list of subjects illustrated. Index to illustrations and descriptive text. Ink notation on half-title page of Volume I. This copy has sustained some moisture impacts at the bottom. All pages are separate and there has only been limited impact on the pages (text or illustrations). The Preface is dated 1890. There appears to have been an issuance of this material in 1891 in six portfolios, but not in this bound volume form. This work was apparently initially sold via Subscription. Folio, [two volumes], xxii, 52pp, [66 plates]; 64pp, [79 plates]. Books measure 14 x 18.5 . Publisher's very worn and soiled binding is three quarter brown morocco, raised bands, title in gilt on spines. Top edge gilt. Text blocks solid. A complete set with 145 photogravure plates. Among the subject of illustrations are Exeter Cathedral, Burghley House, Merton College, and Kenilworth Castle. One of the most important considerations in the undertaking was the qualify of the photographic illustrations. The art of fitly illustrating architecture by means of the camera has not been wildly acquired, and we hold ourselves fortunate in having secured the services of Mr. Charles Latham. Charles Latham (15 May 1847 27 October 1912) was staff photographer of the magazine Country Life in the early years of the 20th century. His first work for Batsford was with the architect John Alfred Gotch on his book Architecture of the Renaissance in England. John Alfred Gotch (28 September 1852, Kettering, Northamptonshire 17 January 1942, Kettering, Northamptonshire was a noted English architect and architectural historian. John Gotch attended Kettering Grammar School and later studied at the University of Zürich and at King's College London. In 1879 Gotch set up a private architectural practice in Kettering which developed into Gotch & Saunders by entering into partnership with Charles Saunders in 1887. They were later joined by Henry Ralph Surridge and they jointly retired in 1938. The practice still exists as Gotch, Saunders & Surridge LLP, or GSSArchitecture. In Kettering, Gotch was responsible for the design and construction of shoe factories, warehouses, houses, shops, offices, banks, hospitals, schools, public houses, sports venues, entertainment venues and a temperance hall. The Practice was also responsible for the design of several First World War memorials, and the alteration and expansion of numerous historic country houses, for example, Madingley Hall, now the Institute of Continuing Education, part of the University of Cambridge. Following the end of the War, Gotch's practice designed and built over 140 branches of Midland Bank and, in association with Edwin Lutyens, Gotch designed the interior of the Bank's former headquarters in Poultry, London which is considered an Art Deco icon. As well as designing many buildings Gotch had an interest in Elizabethan and Jacobean architecture. He was the author of nine books in this field, as well as editor of a book on the history of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). Apart from his renown as an architectural historian, he also achieved eminence as a public figure and representative of the architectural profession. He was president of the Architectural Association in 1886-1887, vice-president of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in 1914-1919, and president of RIBA in 1923-1925: the first provincial architect to be appointed president since the formation of the institute in 1834. In addition, he was vice-president of the Society of Antiquaries, a founder member of the Royal Fine Art Commission, a Trustee of the Soane Museum, and president of the Northamptonshire Association of Architects in 1911-1922. In 1924 he received an honorary M.A. degree from the University of Oxford. John Alfred Gotch was appointed the first Charter Mayor of Kettering in 1938. In 2018 a blue plaque in honor of the architect, often cited as 'the man who built Kettering', was unveiled on the former Midland Bank building that he designed in Kettering High Street. RIBA has an archive of Gotch's sketchbooks, topographical drawings and manuscripts whilst further correspondence is held by Northamptonshire Record Office. Historic England hold a series of negatives taken by Gotch and photographs, donated by him, are also held in the Conway Library whose archive of architectural images is in the process of being digitized as part of the wider Courtauld Connects project.
