A selection of 85 Flemish drawings gives an astonishing and representative overview of the art of drawing in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The publication focusses on the drawings subjects and compositions but also on how and why they were created and why an artist chose specific materials, techniques, formats and even sizes. It provides a framework to allow to see drawings in the functional context for which they were created. Renowned specialists in Flemish drawing discuss rare artworks by famous draughtsmen as Frans Floris, Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony Van Dyck, Jacques Jordaens, Otto van Veen, Jan Fijt but also hidden treasures such as the 10 meters long Panorama of Zeeland by Antoon van den Wijngaerde, a sketchbook of the 12 years old Rubens, recently discovered drawings by Hans Vredeman de Vries, the extremely rare Italy-sketchbooks by the sculptor Pieter Verbruggen and a newly discovered book-illustration design by Rubens for the Plantin Press.

Fleuron du musée des Beaux-Arts de Limoges, la collection d’antiquités égyptiennes a été réunie par Jean-André Périchon (1860-1929). Ingénieur, directeur d’une sucrerie en Moyenne-Égypte, Périchon–Bey par l’action du khédive – rassemble pendant les vingt-deux ans qu’il passe sur les rives du Nil près de 4 000 objets, dont la moitié sera donnée au musée en 1931. Le présent ouvrage est la première étude de cette ample collection et permet de découvrir nombre d’œuvres inédites, aujourd’hui chez des propriétaires privés. Spécialistes et chercheurs font émerger les spécificités d’une collection cohérente, porte ouverte sur une région d’Égypte encore méconnue. Au-delà, l’ouvrage dessine le portrait d’un homme passionné et attachant qui accompagne une égyptologie encore en construction.

Derrière des boîtes de conserve, entassées sur des étagères, des toiles de Renoir, Cézanne, Courbet, Chagall, Picasso, Delacroix ou Munch... Un trésor artistique évalué à plusieurs millions d'euros. Fin février 2012, après un banal contrôle de douane, le trésor découvert chez Cornelius Gurlitt, 79 ans, est saisi. Dans son appartement de Munich, le vieil homme cache depuis plus de cinquante ans des centaines de chefs-d'œuvre acquis pour la plupart dans des conditions douteuses par son père, Hildebrand Gurlitt, marchand d'art. C'est l'incroyable histoire de cette collection que ce livre raconte, illustrée par de nombreuses reproductions d'œuvres d'art, des photos d'archives et des planches de bande dessinée conçues spécialement par Laureline Mattiussi.

"In the first half of the nineteenth century, Belgium was repeatedly praised as a country of collectors and amateurs, and private art and antique collectors were important and highly visible actors in urban cultural life. At a time when the public museum was still a relatively recent innovation, private collections were quite easily accessible for local and international visitors of the same social rank as the collectors. By the beginning of the twentieth century, however, the collector's position in the public sphere had changed dramatically. Private collections were less accessible to an ever-expanding and increasingly culture-consuming public, and functioned more strongly in the context of the personal and explicitly private aims and networks of their owners. This book uncovers the premises and reasons for private collectors' shifting public role and relevance in nineteenth-century Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent. It examines the specific social, cultural, political, artistic and material context of private collectors' activity. Its main focus is on three related issues: 1) collectors' social profiles and networks; 2) collectors' tastes; and 3) the function, accessibility, display and reception of the collections. Attention is also paid to the differences between Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent with regard to the urban collecting cultures. The book intends to further our understanding of the diverse ways in which private collectors interacted with the social, cultural and artistic life of their cities and what the collectors' changing relationship to the public sphere can tell us about broader shifts in nineteenth-century culture, art and society."--
