{"product_id":"9780691059716","title":"The Robert Lehman Collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Volume IV: Illuminations","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book presents the exceptional group of illuminations in the Robert Lehman Collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The miniatures and cuttings from medieval and Renaissance manuscripts in this collection represent the major schools of illumination that flourished in Europe from the fourteenth to the sixteenth century. Robert Lehman (1892-1969), one of the great private art collectors of the twentieth century, collected these illuminations as an extension of his remarkable collection of early European paintings and drawings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong the works catalogued here are a miniature by Simon Marmion—the \"prince d'enluminure\"—painted for a Breviary for Charles the Bold and Margaret of York, and, among the Italian illuminations, a \u003ci\u003eLast Judgment in an Initial C\u003c\/i\u003e by the great Florentine painter Lorenzo Monaco and an \u003ci\u003eAdoration of the Magi\u003c\/i\u003e by Francesco Marmitta. A \u003ci\u003eSelf-Portrait \u003c\/i\u003eby Simon Bening and a \u003ci\u003eVirgin and Child\u003c\/i\u003e by Francesco Morone are early examples of small paintings on parchment conceived as independent works of art rather than as illustrations for manuscripts. Also here are a leaf painted for the Hours of ftienne Chevalier by Jean Fouquet, the most celebrated French painter of the fifteenth century, and a miniature \u003ci\u003eHoly Face\u003c\/i\u003e by Gerard David that was possibly created as an independent devotional image. All the illuminations in the Robert Lehman Collection are reproduced in color, and copious comparative illustrations supplement the extensive catalogue entries. This is the seventh in a projected series of sixteen volumes that will catalogue the entire Robert Lehman Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metropolitan Museum of Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47027383206128,"sku":"9780691059716","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780691059716_p0.jpg?v=1763609824","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780691059716","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
