About this Item

Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice book in great condition. Pages in excellent condition. Softcover. English. Pub Year 1996, See images for condition. About the book >.>.> This book, Drawings by the Carracci: From British Collections, authored by Clare Robertson, presents a comprehensive examination of an exhibition dedicated to the drawings of the Carracci, a family of prominent Italian artists from the late Renaissance to the Baroque period. The work documents the complex and ambitious loan project, notably marking the first exhibition of Carracci drawings in the UK in a generation. The exhibition, held in London and supported by notable lenders such as Her Majesty the Queen, showcases thirty drawings from the Royal Library, which form the core of this exceptional collection.Throughout its pages, the book elaborates on the contributions of various institutions and individuals who facilitated this significant project, including the British Museum and the Duke of Devonshire. Special acknowledgment is given to Denis Mahon, a long-time advocate for Baroque art, alongside Clare Robertson and Catherine Whistler, who co-authored the catalogue. The text highlights a series of past exhibitions organised by Hazlitt, Gooden & Fox, reflecting the gallery's commitment to showcasing prominent works, such as Samuel Palmer and Master Drawings from British collections.Robertson's work not only illuminates the artistic significance of the Carracci but also engages with the evolution of taste in the art world, as encapsulated by R.A.S. Symonds? reflections on the shifting nature of artistic appreciation. By bringing together a substantial array of drawings from various British collections, this catalogue serves as both an artistic tribute and a scholarly resource, fostering a renewed appreciation for the Carracci and their ongoing influence on art.
