Bøker utgitt av Trustees of the Wallace Collection

Published to accompany the exhibition "Jean de Jullienne: Collector & Connoisseur" as part of "Esprit et Vaeritae. Watteau and his Circle" at the Wallace Collection, London, 12 March - 5 June 2011.

This publication marks the bicentenary of Delaroche's death. It represents an in-depth study of many of his most famous paintings, which form part of the Wallace Collection. These include the historical scenes "The Princes in the Tower" and the "Execution of Lady Jane Grey".

This work discusses each painting of the Wallace collection of Richard Parkes Bonington and illustrates all of them in colour. It also provides a biographical introduction with illustrations of related paintings and drawings by Bonington and his contemporaries.

One of the most famous and influential artists of the eighteenth century, Jean-Antoine Watteau (c. 16841721) fundamentally changed the course of French painting. With masterpieces such as Les charmes de la vie, Lady at her Toilet and Les Champs lises, the Wallace Collection preserves one of the three outstanding collections of his paintings worldwide (together with Paris and Berlin) but it has never before been the subject of a special exhibition or a separate study.

This catalogue focuses on Reynolds's innovative, often highly experimental approaches to the practice and materials of painting. It investigates his radical manipulation of pigments, oils, glazes and varnishes, and traces his experiments with colour, tone and handling.
