Книга на английском языке. An exhibition catalog, this book also serves as a scholarly examination of the various British arts and artists represented in the Hermitage collections. It surveys a specialized area of British art?art commissioned by a foreign court?illuminating a little-known aspect of production and collecting. The essays, all written by specialists, concentrate on such topics as Sir Joshua Reynolds, English silver, engraved gems, Scottish architects in imperial Russia, and more. The essays form a new subsection of British art and will long be consulted; the bibliography too will be particularly useful to scholars, though the lack of an index is a drawback. The catalog section is arranged by medium. The photographs are handsomely and precisely reproduced, giving a wealth of detail. Each object is fully described, with a complete list of the literature on each. For all scholarly art libraries.
