Antipodean Early Modern

A Rothschild prayer book; an Italian bronze casket by Antico; a lavishly illustrated Carnival chronicle from sixteenth-century Germany; an altarpiece by the famous Flemish painter Pieter Brueghel the Younger—much of the artwork in this book, held by Australian collections, is essentially unknown beyond the continent, and so this collection of  essays will surprise even specialists. The authors showcase these extraordinary objects to their full potential, revealing a wide range of contemporary art and historical research.
 
 

O carte de rugaciuni Rothschild; un sicriu italian de bronz de Antico; o cronica genial ilustrata a carnavalului din Germania secolului al XVI-lea; o altara a celebrului pictor flamand Pieter Brueghel cel Tanar - o mare parte din lucrarile din aceasta carte, detinute de colectiile australiene, sunt in esenta necunoscute dincolo de continent si, prin urmare, aceasta colectie de eseuri va surprinde chiar si specialistii.
