Book excerpt: This Tiny Folio book highlights the works of The National Gallery, London, which has one of the most magnificent--and the most beloved--collections of paintings in the world.

Located on Trafalgar Square, in the heart of London, the original Wilkins Building has recently been extended by the handsome new Sainsbury Wing, which contains some of the world's greatest paintings.

Download or read book 111 Hidden Art Treasures in London That You Shouldn t Miss written by MICHAEL. GLOVER and published by Emons Publishers. This book was released on 2024-05-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: - The ultimate insider's guide to London's hidden art treasures for locals and experienced travelers - Features interesting and unusual places not found in traditional travel guides - Part of the international 111 Places series with over 650 titles and 3.8 million copies in print worldwide - Appeals to both the local market (more than 8.9 million people call London home) and the tourist market (around 30 million people visit London every year!) - Fully illustrated with 111 full-page color photographs The hidden art of London is for the ever-curious roamer of both the back streets and the familiar places you never quite see - churches, gardens, graveyards, pubs. What little garden finds the poet John Keats sitting in the corner of a bench? Which abandoned building tells the story of a great Roman Road? There are always marvels hidden in plain view - the back corner of a museum containing great sculptures by Rodin or the naked, street-corner golden boy, who marks where the Great Fire of London finally petered out. A famous literary cat or a painting by Hogarth on the bend of a stairs in an ancient hospital. This guidebook takes you exploring London beyond its most famous sights to find the art we have never quite noticed before: the hidden statues, paintings, and murals that have escaped from the official museums, and often live unnoticed lives in tucked away places.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art Treasures of London Painting Although many handbooks to the public art galleries of London have been published during the last few years, no concise guide has yet appeared which displays at a glance their vast but scattered wealth. It is impossible for the art-lover to discover the whereabouts of all the existing examples of any particular school or master in London without the loss of much time. And unless he is able to collate a score of catalogues (some out of print and many out of date) the task is almost hopeless. This volume consists of three parts: (I.) Plans of the galleries with general information. (II) A chronological list of artists arranged according to the order of their schools, including classified lists of all the pictures representing their works to be seen within the London area. The brief biographical notes are in no sense intended to be exhaustive, but will be found useful as a rapid memory aid. (III.) A complete index to the names of the artists. The visitor or student who wishes to examine all the examples illustrative of a particular school will turn to that School in Section II., and will there find every picture placed as far as possible in chronological order, with a reference to its gallery and the room in which it is hung. If he wishes to see the works of one artist, a reference to the Index will give the page in the Schools. When possible the pictures have been dated, and if the critics have differed with regard to the attributions attention is drawn to their suggested amendations. The University Galleries at Oxford and Cambridge cannot be said to form part of the metropolitan area, but they are so close to London in every way that to omit them would have been an error. At first it was intended that oil-paintings only should be included, but, as this rule would have excluded one of the chief glories of the British School, water-colour drawings have been added, together with a few chalk and pencil drawings (except in the foreign schools), miniatures, early mosaics, and several pieces of tapestry. Although these items are not exhaustively catalogued, I believe the references include almost everything of value. In conclusion, I only hope that some art-loving and public-spirited millionaire will, after a study of this volume, remove some of the obvious deficiencies amongst the Art Treasures of London.

Download or read book London written by David Pearson and published by Scala Books. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the remarkably rich documentary and graphic collections of the City of London, this unique survey tells the history of London, and its role on the wider national and world stage, through a selection of 100 treasures. These may be iconic items connected with famous people or important moments in history, such as William I's confirmation of the City's liberties, issued in 1067, or the City's copy of Magna Carta, issued in 1297; or they may be less obviously remarkable items that offer a unique insight into aspects of London life, such as trade cards, plans for the Thames Barrier or Elizabeth David's annotated cookery books. This beautifully produced book is arranged in five sections: the National and World Stage; the Engine of Finance; London Life; Growth and Renewal; the Arts and Sciences. Each section opens with an introductory text that is followed by scholarly entries on individual items. It will appeal to readers interested in the history of the City (and London more generally) as well as in books, documents and art. AUTHOR: David Pearson is Director of Libraries, Archives and Guildhall Art Gallery for the City of London and has previously worked in several major academic and research libraries, including the British Library, the National Art Library and the University of London Library. He has an extensive record of lecturing and publishing, and his books include Provenance Research in Book History (1994), English Bookbinding Styles (2005) and Books as History (2008). He is currently President of the Bibliographical Society. 260 colour illustrations
