A charming pair of early 20th-century art reference books from the highly collectable “Masterpieces in Colour” series, published by T.C. & E.C. Jack, London, and Frederick A. Stokes Co., New York.
Included in this lot are:
* Leonardo da Vinci by Maurice W. Brockwell
* Botticelli by Henry Bryan Binns
Each volume contains eight colour reproductions of the artist’s most celebrated works, accompanied by informative text discussing the artist’s life and achievements. These attractive little books were produced to bring great art to a wider audience and are now sought after by collectors of art history, decorative books, and early illustrated publications.
The Leonardo volume includes reproductions such as the world-famous Mona Lisa, whilst the Botticelli volume features works including The Birth of Venus.
Historical Background:
The Masterpieces in Colour series was published in the early 1900s and became one of the most successful art book series of its era. These volumes introduced readers to the great masters of European art through high-quality colour reproductions at a time when colour printing was still relatively expensive and uncommon.
Today they are appreciated not only for their artistic content but also for their attractive period design and historical significance in the development of art publishing.
A wonderful addition to any library of art history, decorative books, Renaissance art, or early illustrated publications.
