This book was released on 1985 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liechtenstein is one of the smallest European states, a principality situated between Austria and Switzerland in the Upper Rhine Valley. The nation is less than three hundred years old, but the ruling family, whose name it bears, traces its lineage back to the twelfth century. For successive generations, members of the Princely House of Liechtenstein have been devoted art collectors. With a high degree of appreciation of artistic achievement, they have pursued a centuries-long family tradition of acquiring not only great paintings and sculpture but also rare firearms, fine porcelain, and other works of art. The result of this tradition is a collection of masterpieces that in its depth and breadth reflects more than four hundred years of European history and ranks among the world's greatest private collections. This publication accompanies an exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art that marked the first time the masterpieces from this private collection were put on public display. The rich and varied array of paintings, sculpture, and other works included in this exhibition not only represents the paradigm of a great European princely collection, but also has the added distinction of being the collection of the only surviving monarchy of the Holy Roman Empire. -- Metropolitan Museum of Art website.

Download or read book Publications of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1964-2005 written by Metropolitan Museum of Art and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume, Publications of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1964-2005, is a successor to a volume published by the Museum in 1965 entitled Publications of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1870-1964. These two bibliographic volumes endeavor to list all the known books, pamphlets, and serial publications bearing the Museum's imprint, and issued by the institution during the first 135 years of its existence (through June 2005). The first volume was compiled by Albert TenEyck Gardner, at the time an Associate Curator of American Paintings and Sculpture, and the present volume has been compiled from the Annual Reports issued by the Museum during the relevant years. Together the two volumes testify to the tremendous contributions made to knowledge by the curators and conservators of the Metropolitan and by the many other experts who have contributed to the Museum's exhibition catalogues. Various issues of the Bulletin emphasize the great sweep of the Museum's acquisitions during these years, and the exhibition catalogues--a number of them Alfred H. Barr Jr., Award or the George Wittenborn Award--testify to the continuity of the institution's dedicated program to enrich people's lives through knowledge of art. (This title was originally published in 2006.)

Book Synopsis Legendary Sporting Guns by : Eric Joly
Download or read book Legendary Sporting Guns written by Eric Joly and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best hunting guns hold a unique place in the pantheon of sporting equipment. Objects of great beauty, agents of immense force, these rifles conjure images of wild safari runs, upland game hunts, and still mornings spent huddled behind a duck blind, accompanied only by a trusted retriever. Highly prized by hunter and non-hunter alike, the great guns and their storied past are explored fully in this enthusiastic, colorful survey. Combining the lore of the hunt with exquisite historical images, Legendary Sporting Guns offers a double-barreled approach to the subject. A thorough, anecdotal opening text relates the long saga behind the creation and refinement of these arms as well as many rich stories of their use in the field, from the moors of France to the expansive veldts of Africa. Then a brand-by-brand catalog examines the finer points of the most exquisite guns in use today, providing specifications on action, barrel, engraving, weight, stock, and caliber (or gauge), along with illustrations featuring both the complete gun in profile and a detailed view of its action. In tracing the international odyssey of the gun -- from the historic manufacturing centers of Liège, Birmingham, and Saint-Etienne to the unparalleled gun makers Purdey, Holland and Holland, Francotte, and Lebeau-Courally -- Legendary Sporting Guns also tells the story of hunting itself.
