Polidoro da Caravaggio David Franklin Strikingly different from his more famous teacher Raphael, painter Polidoro da Caravaggio presents an uneasy vision of the Italian Renaissance through crude and brutal religious pictures.

Etablishes Polidoro’s proper place in the canon of art history. 156 colour + b/w illus. Hardback £50.00
The Silver Caesars A Renaissance Mystery Edited by Julia Siemon Distinguished essayists address questions long surrounding the most enigmatic masterpiece of Renaissance European metalwork, twelve monumental silver-gilt standing cups known as the Aldobrandini Tazze, while covering topics ranging from the works’ representation of the ancient world to their fate in the hands of 19th-century collectors.

David Ekserdjian

This beautifully illustrated book demonstrates that artists were fascinated by and skilled at still-life painting considerably earlier than previously thought. It explores its origins in classical antiquity and its gradual re-emergence in Renaissance painting. Featured works include paintings from Renaissance greats such as Da Vinci and Holbein.
This sumptuously illustrated book traces and interprets Picasso’s lifelong achievement as a draughtsman. It details how drawing serves as the vital thread connecting his entire body of work and showcases how the basis of Picasso’s style as painter, sculptor and designer was manifestly achieved through drawing. Distributed for Modern Art Press
The term ‘macaroni’ was once a familiar label yielding a complex set of social, sexual and cultural associations. Here, manner of dress and biography come together with explorations of masculinity and sexuality to create a new fashionscape of 18th-century British men.

SIR JOSHUA REYNOLDS PRA Plympton 1723 – 1792 London
A portrait of Arthur Murphy (1727–1805) Oil on canvas: 30 × 25 in / 76.5 × 63.5 cm Painted 1773–9 Reynolds painted the Irish playwright, actor and wit Arthur Murphy for the library of the brewer Henry Thrale at Streatham Park. The portrait was one of the twelve ‘Streatham Worthies’ depicted by Reynolds, which included Dr Samuel Johnson, the actor David Garrick, politician Edmund Burke and Reynolds himself. This dazzling intellectual circle was typical of the breadth of Reynolds’s interests. It made him a superb first President of the Royal Academy, which this year celebrates its 250th anniversary.
