Scarisbrick, Diana: Portrait Jewels - Opulence and Intimacy from the Medici to the Romanovs. London 2011. In English language, 352 pages, with 356 illustration, of which 341 in colour, hard cover. From the Renaissance onwards "portraits in little" of famous personalities - political, military, literary, artistic - as well as of private individuals have inspired goldsmiths and jewellers to design settings in precious materials to enhance their beauty and emphasize their significance for both donor and recipient. Sueviving rings, pendants, lockets, bracelets and objets de luxe set with cameos, intaglios, medals and miniatures show that the desire for these jewelled portraits was international, ranging from Lisbon to Moscow, from Stockholm to Naples, from London to Paris to New York. Yet while cameo and intaglio portraits, medals and miniatures have been extensively surveyed, their settings do not seem to have attracted the same attention. |
