Book excerpt: "Over the course of the twentieth century, Philip and Robert Lehman amassed 230 remarkably varied pieces of European sculpture and metalwork, now part of the Robert Lehman Collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Presented here are exemplary aquamanilia, bronze sculptures, medals, and plaquettes dating from the Middle Ages through the twentieth century. Acquired from the most prominent dealers in Europe and the United States, many of the objects were accompanied by illustrious provenances, including Buckingham Palace, European nobles, and the American financier J. Pierpont Morgan. An early highlight from the Southern Netherlands is a medieval aquamanile, the finest of its type, depicting the theme of foolish love in the fable of Phyllis and Aristotle. Later standouts include four superb brass fifteenth-century Belgian sculptures of Saints Adrian, Stephen, John the Evangelist, and Peter that probably once adorned a lectern or baptismal font. A delightful household sculpture from sixteenth-century Padua takes the form of a perfume burner surmounted by a faun. Another decorative bronze, dating to about 1600, depicts a commanding figure of Mars in the guise of a musketeer loading his weapon. The middle section of the book is devoted to the entire group of Lehman medals and plaquettes—its 117 pieces constitute more than half of the holdings described in this catalogue. Italian, German, French, and Netherlandish works are represented, lending an impressive geographical and chronological breadth. Rarely on public view, this fascinating collection is fully revealed for the first time. These, as well as all the works included here, are illustrated, the majority with new color photography made expressly for this book. Enhancing the in-depth scholarly discussions are professionally researched provenances, exhibition histories, and references, as well as selected comparative illustrations. The volume also includes a bibliography and an index." -- MetPublications page (viewed May 13, 2020)

This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exhibition of Chased and Embossed Steel and Iron Work of European Origin, 1900 Shape by the hammer. This is the time-honored way, dear to the imagination, used by St. Dunstan, and also by every village smith to-day. Modern mechanical science has added nothing, except that machinery is brought to bear, to give force to the blow. Results of this heroic method are not comprised in the present exhibition, which is limited to objects produced by processes into which heat enters relatively little, except for annealing and soldering purposes. Almost every specimen catalogued in these pages-has been fashioned by carving, filing and chasing from the solid, or piercing and embossing the Sheet metal, while cold. Most of them present the natural grey colour of the metal, but pressed and polished until it has assumed the lustrous sheen so familiarly associated with steel. In some the metal has been browned, to give value to the gold and Silver with which the surface is inlaid or encrusted, and in others blued, to enhance the lustre of adjacent parts in'relief. These colours are natural to the metal, and obtained by heating or tempering. In all, it will be observed, the metallic surface is exposedwithout any Stain or coating of paint. A few are gilt all over, and some few of the objects are made up of several metals, of which iron or.steel is but one. No attempt is made in these descriptions to discriminate between objects of iron and those of steel; Since the two metals, though differing so widely in their properties, are in every respect identical intrinsically, except that in Steel a small but definite percentage of carbon has been added during the process of manufacture, the quantity added varying from I per cent. Down to one - fifth of I per cent. Of its weight, according as to whether the quality required is steely or mild. In what precise way these seemingly inadequate amounts of alloy effect such remarkable changes in the tenacity, hardness, or weight-carrying power of the metal is still a mystery.

Download or read book Metalwork and Material Culture in the Islamic World written by Venetia Porter and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06-29 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The material and visual culture of the Islamic World casts vast arcs through space and time, and encompasses a huge range of artefacts and monuments from the minute to the grandiose, from ceramic pots to the great mosques. Here, Venetia Porter and Mariam Rosser-Owen assemble leading experts in the field to examine both the objects themselves and the ways in which they reflect their historical, cultural and economic contexts. With a focus on metalwork, this volume includes an important new study of Mosul metalwork and presents recent discoveries in the fields of Fatimid, Mamluk and Qajar metalwork. By examining architecture, ceramics, ivories and textiles, seventeenth-century Iranian painting and contemporary art, the book explores a wide range of artistic production and historical periods from the Umayyad caliphate to the modern Middle East. This rich and detailed volume makes a significant contribution to the fields of Art History, Architecture and Islamic Studies, bringing new objects to light, and shedding new light on old objects.
