The aim of this first volume is to catalogue the works  in the collection, whose decorative aspects are every bit as important  as their narrative content. The works are for the most part sculptures &#8211;  statuettes and ornamental reliefs &#8211; although two-dimensional  decorations depicting figurative scenes associated with classical  antiquity or Christianity are no less important.<\/p>\n<p>The periods  represented by the sculptural works discussed in this book reflect the  scope of the whole collection, which ranges from the 12th to the 18th  century. And since the goal of the collection is to document centuries  of cultural exchange between France and neighbouring countries, all the  works included in the book come from these latter regions. The hybrid  styles are closely linked, and this is an aspect of considerable  importance, as is the originality certain pieces display and, last but  not least, their aesthetic quality.<\/p>\n<p>The book is arranged by topic,  which brings out the great originality and extraordinary richness of  the collection, as well as the extremely varied nature of the subjects,  narrative episodes, and figures portrayed. More specifically, the topics  are divided into five sections: ancient gods and heroes; biblical and  allegorical figures; scenes from the life of the Virgin; episodes from  the life of Christ; and saints and intercessors. Each work has its own  entry that describes the historical and geographical context in which it  was made, analyses its iconographic content, and includes a  bibliography and a list of the exhibitions where the work was exhibited.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The aim of this first volume is to catalogue the works in the collection, whose decorative aspects are every bit as important as their narrative content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13741,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[21060],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-13740","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-decorative-arts","7":"author-by-author-fabienne-fravalo","8":"author-by-author-marion-boudon-machuel","9":"publisher-five-continents-editions","10":"series-fondation-gandur","12":"first","13":"instock","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Decorative Arts I - ACC Art Books UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Title: The Decorative Arts I, Pages: 336 Pages, Publish Date: 2nd Dec 2020, Author: Fabienne Fravalo, Marion Boudon-Machuel, ISBN: 9788874399413.
