An extension of the exhibition presented at the Hôtel de la Marine, the book pays tribute to the exceptional inventiveness, talent and expertise demonstrated by Renaissance art; it also examines the fascination that this art has continued to exert on collectors for centuries.
Masterpieces from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Al Thani Collection combine to present more than 130 works and objects of decorative art – sculptures, goldwork, jewelry, ceramics, glass, textiles, books, manuscripts, paintings, graphic works, and curiosities. The exhibition will feature works by L'Antico, Lucas Cranach the Younger, François Clouet, Carlo Crivelli, Donatello, Nicholas Hilliard, Hans Holbein the Younger, and Leonardo da Vinci, as well as art objects commissioned from the most accomplished artists of the time by patrons from royal families and the upper classes.
Opening with the history of the two institutions in conversation here – one born in the 19th century , the Victoria and Albert Museum, the other at the beginning of the 21st century , the Al Thani Collection –, the book is structured into ten thematic chapters, each giving rise to the analysis of remarkable pieces. It presents a new corpus of works, some of which have never been shown to the public. This is the case for some fifty works from the Al Thani Collection shown for the first time.
