Описание: This scholarly publication accompanies the first major exhibition held in Britain to focus on the more intimate types of Georgian and Regency portraiture. While oil paintings and sculpture dominated the public arena of portraiture, more private portraits were being created for domestic consumption and display. Nearly two hundred works, drawn from the collections of the National Galleries of Scotland and the British Museum, by leading artists including Gainsborough, Ramsay, Wilkie and Lawrence, are illustrated and catalogued within thematic sections on self-portraits, depictions of family and friends and commissioned portraits of the rising middle classes and the celebrities of the day.

The two introductory essays by the co-curators Stephen Lloyd and Kim Sloan discuss aspects of the intimacy in viewing.

Описание: The Napoleonic era has been called the age of the military tailor because of the colorful and ornate uniforms of this period. Using a clearly photographed and captioned step-by-step approach, Mike Davidson guides the reader through the process of assembly, painting and display of a commercially produced figure. Mike brings these highly detailed miniatures to life using a combination of hobby paints and oils. He also provides formulas for mixing a variety of Napoleonic uniform colors. While applied to a particular figure, the lessons and techniques learned from this book will enhance any Napoleonic figure the reader may choose to paint.

Описание: The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection of more than 300 European portrait miniatures is catalogued in this book, published to accompany an exhibition at the museum. Dating from the early-16th century to about 1850, the works fall broadly into three categories - French, English and Continental. The collection includes work by Jean Clouet, who is credited with having originated the genre of portrait miniatures, and three examples of only 20 painted by Hans Holbein the Younger, the first great master of this art.

Most of the other significant figures in the field - Hilliard, Hoskins, Cooper, Hall, Fueger, Zincke, Cosway and Isabey - are represented, as are many painters who worked primarily in larger formats, such as Fragonard, Vestier, the Van Blarenberghes, and Rosalba Carriera.
