About This Item
(Milan: 5 Continents Editions, 2014) 9788874396627. 269 x 223 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. 223 + (i); lavishly illustrated in full colour. Near-fine condition. "This book is published on the occasion of the exhibition: Samuel Hieronymus Grimm - A Very English Swiss, January 17 - April 20, 2014, Kunstmuseum Bern." "Samuel Hieronymus Grimm (1733-1794) was one of the most prolific artists of his time, making thousands of drawings and watercolours, mostly in England, where he settled in 1768. Working for a variety of patrons, Grimm was a versatile painter whose diverse works in such genres as topography, book illustration, and social satire were highly esteemed. He traveled throughout the country, particularly in search of uncommon and sometimes neglected historical and antiquarian sites. His highly skilled images record a remarkable panorama of these as they existed during his time, some of which have subsequently been destroyed. To examine Grimm's work is to scrutinise the fabric of Georgian England before it was transformed by the Industrial Revolution." .
