About This Item
San Marino, CA: Huntington Library, 2001. xiii, 135 pages, illustrations (some colour); 26 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. "Ten representative works of art in the world-renowned Huntington collection illustrate the richness and versatility of British painting during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Unlike previous periods, artists at this time employed many styles, borrowing from ancient Greece, India and China, from the Byzantine, and from the just-closing rococo period. Nearly 100 color illustrations place the ten primary pictures in artistic context." - Publisher.
