RUSSIAN ENAMELS : KIEVAN RUS TO FABERGE
Odom, Anne
02871597 Soft Cover. Brand New. Russia's rich tradition of enameling can be placed within the context of one of the earliest and most widely practiced forms of decoration. The 120 enamels seen in color plates here are from three sources: The Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore (Henry Walters patronized the Fabergé firm in St. Petersburg in 1900), Marjorie Merriweather Post's superb holdings of Russian and French 18th- and 19th-century decorative arts, and a private collector who has explored every aspect of the Russian Revival movement. The works trace the development of enameling in Russia from 11th-century Kiev, deeply influenced by Byzantine aesthetics, to examples of the late 19th-century Russian Revival, including such exquisite pieces as a Fabergé egg, shown actual size, containing a golden replica of the Gatchina Palace scarcely 3" long! Baltimore, MD, U.S.A.: Walters Art Gallery, 1996
