Overview

Jody Brotherston establishes in her ground- breaking book the crucial impact Arthur Byne had on the history of collecting Spanish art and antiques in the United States. The Bynes were champions of Spanish culture, playing an integral role in launching the Spanish Revival in the US. Byne's books were lavishly illustrated with photographs and architectural drawings, and Mildred Stapley Byne's widely read articles led to an exciting acceptance of Spanish design and culture throughout the continental US. Arranged in nine chapters, Brotherston's sumptuously illustrated book elucidates their close connections to collectors like William Randolph Hearst and Archer Milton Huntington, their publications, and a first time look at their historic home in Madrid.The Institute of Classical Architecture & Art awarded Arthur Byne's Diplomatic Legacy the Newman Award for excellence in History and Journalism in 2015.
