| schema:abstract | ""To see the great private and public art galleries, housed in stately homes and museums throughout Britain today, is to witness the rich story of the British as art collectors, a narrative that mirrors the history of the country. In this landmark new book, James Stourton and Charles Sebag-Montefiore present a survey of British collectors down the centuries. Experts on their wide-ranging material, the authors bring to life not only the actual collectors but also the historical context of each generation of collectors. Their strengths are apparent not only in the grand themes, but also in their mastery of detail through the different eras. They write with equal authority about the royal patronage and collecting of the Tudor period, with which they begin, and the collectors of today. All are brought together in an engrossing story that embraces numerous notable collectors in over 500 years. The major subjects covered include Henry VIII, who harnessed the arts in the service of the crown; Charles I and the Whitehall Circle; the Grand Tour and the country house boom; the bonanza for collectors created by the Napoleonic Wars; the new collectors spawned from the Industrial Revolution, banking and shipping; the passion for French, Spanish and early Italian art; the 19th-century heyday for the creation of museums; the private collectors who sparked the belated British love affair with Impressionism; the State's role in patronage and collecting after World War II; and London's recent emergence as a metropolis of contemporary art.""@nl |
