Metropolitan Museum Journal: v. 32 (Metropolitican Museum journal) - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

This volume, the 32nd in the series, is a highly-illustrated study of familiar works in the Museum's collections, including pieces not on permanent display, selections from important visiting exhibitions, and related works in other collections. Reflecting the breadth and depth of the Museum's encyclopaedic collections, the journal's range expands as the Museum grows. The book features articles cataloguing a number of ancient objects in the collection - such as Roman figure-engraved glass, gold rings, and fibulae as well as Flemish harpsichords and virginals and a group of 18th-century Russian table snuffboxes - and essays revealing new research on the Museum's 17th-century reception room from Damascus, and identifying the subjects in a portrait by Martin van Meyens the Younger, and in an Italian portrait by Ippolito Buzio.
