Miniatures
From the Time of Marie Antoinette in the Tansey Collection
The Tansey miniatures, now housed in the Bomann Museum in Celle, form one of the most significant collections of European miniature paintings. »Miniatures from the time of Marie Antoinette in the Tansey Collection« is the fifth book in a series exploring this collection by key periods; 168 works, mostly by French artists, are examined in actual size using the outstanding photographs of Birgitt Schmedding.
description
The final 50 years of the 18th century constituted one of the most magnificent periods in the art of miniature painting, with regard to both style and technique. The artists, who produced these portraits for private gifts, not only excelled in applying watercolours to ivory, but also expressed great ingenuity in their representations of affection and love.
The authors Bernd Pappe and Juliane Schmieglitz-Otten, both renowned connoisseurs in this field, detail and analyse each work. Introductory essays by leading specialists provide further insights into this fascinating time for miniature painting. The Tansey Collection, started about thirty years ago by the German-American couple Lieselotte and Ernest Tansey, was donated in part to the Bomann Museum in Celle 1997.

press commentaries
Besonders bemerkenswert ist die Qualität der fotografischen Abbildungen des Katalogteils, die nicht nur die Details der Miniaturen sichtbar macht, sondern auch deren Rahmungen nahezu plastisch hervortreten lässt. Die Wiedergabe der Porträtmedaillons in Originalgröße evoziert nahezu eine dreidimensionale, haptische Erfahrbarkeit der Stücke.
