Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Art Nouveau during the Reign of the Last Tsars accompanies the Hermitage Museum's exhibition in Amsterdam of the vast collection of Art Nouveau objects bestowed on the Russian court as diplomatic gifts. France was particularly generous as part of its strategy to enlist the support of Russia in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. Galle, the Daum brothers, Carl Faberge and Rene Lalique are just a few of the artists acquired by the tsars and by wealthy private citizens. Buyers included Tsar Alexander III, Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra, whose bedroom was decorated with vases by Galle. Providing a unique opportunity to discover examples of Art Nouveau objects that have previously been unseen, Art Nouveau during the Reign of the Last Tsars offers fascinating and original insights into a key artistic movement and is essential reading for all art enthusiasts.
