This area of the Gilbert Collection encompasses an extraordinary quality and scope: from 17th century portrait miniatures by German, French and Swiss enamelists to late 19th century examples by Henry Bone and other English artists. This scholarly book contains comprehensive information on the art of enamels in Europe and England. In addition, it examines the techniques and tools of enamelists and presents an overview of artists, patrons and sitters represented in this fine collection.
