x + 563 pp. Pictorial Cover. Exhibition catalog, 2007 major exhibition of tapestries from 1570 to 1720, the sequel to the Met's 2002 exhibition "Tapestry in the Renaissance". Hundreds of illustrations, including many details of the subject works. Most are in color, some are b/w, but this is a lavish catalog and scholarly work, including contributions from most of the current Art History experts on tapestry. The exhibition was astonishing in its depth and quality; this catalog is no less so. An indispensable reference for the subject. This copy is clean, the binding is solid, the pages firmly attached. There are no markings or highlighting, just some minor shelf wear. This is a very heavy book.

The book features forty-five of the finest surviving examples from collections in more than fifteen countries, as well as a number of related designs and oil sketches. Through these it examines the stylistic developments of tapestry between 1590 and 1720, when such masters as Peter Paul Rubens, Jacob Jordaens, Simon Vouet, Charles Le Brun, Pietro da Cortona, and Giovanni Romanelli responded to the challenges and opportunities of the medium in the context of contemporary artistic developments.
