Item Number: 114536 Title: Fastes et grandeur des cours en Europe Author: Arminjon, Catherine (ed) Price: Not Available ISBN: 9782081264519 Description: Paris: Skira Flammarion, 2011. 30cm., hardcover, 367pp. illus., most in color. Exhibition held at Forum Grimaldi, Monaco. Summary: Plunging visitors to the heart of 21 prestigious European Courts to meet famous royal couples and great Imperial, Royal and Princely figures who left their mark on history. The exhibition’s original concept is based on the choice of these emblematic figures, whose lives, roles and passions marked the history of their dynasties and countries. This is the main argument for highlighting their centres of interest, whether in the architecture and decoration of their palaces, and their times, through the artistic, historical and scientific context. To illustrate this ambitious aim, the Grimaldi Forum Monaco and the organiser, Catherine Arminjon, Heritage Curator, gathered some 600 exceptional works of art from prestige institutions and royal and princely collections: portraits, sculptures, objects, furniture, porcelain, gold and silver plate, court costumes and jewellery.
