Описание: Raqqa, in Syria, had its first Islamic flowering in the late 8th century, when it was the residence of the legendary Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid. It experienced
a resurgence during the late 12th and early 13th centuries under the Zangids and Ayyubids. Interest in the city was kindled in the West in the late 19th century, by, among other things,
the publication of the Arabic literary classic "The Thousand and One Nights", in which Harun al-Rashid was a central character.
At the same time, ceramics purportedly
connected to the legendary caliph were excavated in Raqqa. Speculation about the site and the objects unearthed there has abounded for more than a century. In this important
volume, Marilyn Jenkins-Madina describes the dramatic journey these ceramics took from discovery in Raqqa to the emporiums of Paris and New York, the drawing rooms of great
collectors, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Using art historical detective work, archival documents, and scientific data, the author convincingly establishes provenance
and dating, placing these beautiful wares in a clear historical context for the first time.
Описание: In 1779 the family of Sir Robert Walpole, Britains first prime minister, sold his remarkable art collection to Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia. More than two centuries later, these masterpieces, rarely seen outside Russia since that time, are returning to Houghton Hall, the great house built by Walpole. This handsome book illustrates these superlative works hanging once again in William Kents magnificent interiors. Thierry Morel uncovers the wonders of Walpoles collection, which includes paintings by Van Dyck, Poussin, Rubens and Rembrandt, and traces its journey to the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, to which most of the works now belong. Other essays explore Walpoles artistic tastes and collecting habits, and his beautiful house, one of the finest Palladian buildings in England.
