Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Treasuries of France, and other sources. The works of Limoges were created for important ecclesiastical and royal patrons. The wealth of enameling preserved from the Treasury of the abbey of Grandmont, just outside Limoges, is due chiefly to the Plantagenet patronage of Henry II and his queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine. Enamels created during their reign resonate with the elegant style of the court, and the dramatic history of Henry's monarchy is evoked by such works as the.

Download or read book Camille Faur written by Alberto Shayo and published by Antique Collectors Club Dist. This book was released on 2007 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is very hard not to be seduced by the allure and magic of the enamels of the Art Deco period, particularly by the art that came out of the Fauré workshop: whether blooming flowers in their brazen natural state or detailed geometric patterns, it is always a pleasing experience. The hard, shiny surface of enamelled metal, the intensity of its colours, and the technique of sculpting volumes and geometrical forms in the enamel itself - a technique for which the Fauré workshop was famous - are all expressions of the vitality of Art Deco. Limoges has been the centre of enamelling for centuries, with workshops in existence since the end of the 12th century. During the early 20th century the Art Deco style was embraced by enamellers; at the forefront of this style revolution was the workshop of Camille Fauré, which produced some of the finest enamelled art objects of the period. The superb quality of the Fauré creations gave the firm a reputation that has lasted for decades. For Fauré, workmanship was the most important factor in the atelier. Great effort was given to detail, composition and beauty. Time was of no importance. The end product was paramount. If a piece was allowed to leave the Fauré workshop and be offered for sale, one could be sure that it was absolutely perfect. With over 200 colour images of collectors' pieces, Camille Fauré, Limoges Art Deco Enamels, The Geometry of Joy lavishly illustrates the vibrancy and brilliance that emanated from the Fauré Atelier. Painstakingly researched, as well as detailing Camille Fauré's biography, his family life and the history of his famous company, this beautiful book explains many of the enamelling techniques, lists and displays the various vase shapes and illustrates original patterns. A half-century has gone by since Camille Fauré's death, and almost twenty years since the Fauré enamel workshop closed its doors for good. Yet today, Fauré enamels are more sought-after than ever. They are prized for their beauty, for the superb quality of their workmanship and their quintessential embodiment of the Art Deco aesthetic. And at the heart of their unique vibrancy, their bold harmonies of colour and form, their generous volumes and dancing rhythms, lies the essence of the Fauré style: the geometry of joy.

Download or read book Medieval Art Architecture Archaeology at Canterbury written by Alixe Bovey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From the time of the foundation of its cathedral in 597, Canterbury has been the epicentre of Britain's ecclesiastical history, and an exceptionally important centre for architectural and visual innovation. Focusing especially but not exclusively on Christ Church cathedral, this legacy is explored in seventeen essays concerned with Canterbury's art, architecture and archaeology between the early Anglo-Saxon period and the close of the middle ages. Papers consider the relationship between between architectural setting and liturgical practice, and between stationary and movable fittings, while fresh insights are offered into the aesthetic, spiritual, and pragmatic considerations that shaped the fabric of Christ Church and St Augustine's abbey, alongside critical reflections on Canterbury's historiography and relationship to the wider world. Taken together, these studies demonstrate the richness of the surviving material, and its enduring ability to raise new questions.
