Published as part of an exhibition held in Brussels in 2007, this beautifully illustrated, oversized volume offers fourteen essays on various aspects of art, its production, and dissemination in Europe until the 18th century. Written by European curators and academics, the essays describe such topics as the collecting and sharing of drawings, the Grand Tour, the legacy of the Carolingian Empire, the impact of classical antiquity, goldsmith workshops, and European sculpture before the Renaissance. Each essay is heavily illustrated with color plates of excellent quality of works from the exhibition. The volume concludes with a catalogue of the works in thumbnail view, with lively entries describing the story of each. Reference and Research Book News, February 2009
