An enthralling tour through the late works
of a celebrated British painter

J. M. W. Turner
Painting Set Free
Edited by David Blayney Brown, Amy Concannon, and Sam Smiles
When the prolific British painter Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851) died at the age of 76, his con-
temporaries held a generally negative view of his recent work, describing it as indulgent, eccentric, and even
repulsive. But over the past century, a number of curators and critics have reassessed Turner’s late paintings.
Instead of finding his employment of shimmering color to evoke light unpleasant or unskilled, they have
seen it as a precursor to the Impressionists and consider his use of abstraction to be distinctly modern.
In this elegantly conceived volume, leading experts on Turner consider these contrasting views of
the artist in a groundbreaking exploration of his paintings. They examine his notes and sketchbooks to
determine whether his health may have impacted his art and how Victorian views of old age influenced
perceptions of the elderly artist. They also question the notion that Turner’s late work articulated a conclu-
sive, radical vision heedless of public reaction, for evidence makes clear that he had a firm idea of the art
market in his day.
Fully illustrated in color, this book is published on the occasion of an exhibition on view at the Tate
Britain, London, from September 15, 2014, through January 18, 2015; at the J. Paul Getty Museum from
February 24 through May 24, 2015; and at the de Young Museum in San Francisco from June 20 through

A bracing consideration of Impressionism

Manet Paints Monet

A Summer in Argenteuil
Willibald Sauerländer
Translated by David Dollenmayer
Manet Paints Monet focuses on an auspicious moment in the history of art. In the summer of 1874, Édouard
Manet (1832–1883) and Claude Monet (1840–1926), two outstanding painters of the nascent Impres-
sionist movement, spent their holidays together in Argenteuil on the Seine River. Their growing friendship
is expressed in their artwork, culminating in Manet’s marvelous portrait of Monet painting on a boat.
The boat was the ideal site for Monet to execute his new plein-air paintings, enabling him to depict
nature, water, and the play of light. Similarly, Argenteuil was the perfect place for Manet, the great painter
of contemporary life, to observe Parisian society at leisure. His portrait brings all the elements together —
Manet’s own eye for the effect of social conventions and boredom on vacationers, and Monet’s eye for
nature — but these qualities remain markedly distinct. With this book, esteemed art historian Willibald
Sauerländer describes how Manet, in one instant, created a defining image of an entire epoch, capturing
the artistic tendencies of the time in a masterpiece that is both graceful and profound.

Willibald Sauerländer was professor of art history at the University of Freiburg; director of the
Central Institute for Art History in Munich; Mellon Lecturer at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.;
and visiting professor at many distinguished institutions. He is the author of, among others, The Catholic
Rubens. David Dollenmayer is a prizewinning emeritus professor of German at the Worcester Poly-

The Brilliant History of Color in Art

Victoria Finlay
The history of art is inseparable from the history of color. And what a fascinating story they tell together:
one that brims with an all-star cast of characters, eye-opening details, and unexpected detours through
the annals of human civilization and scientific discovery.
Enter critically acclaimed writer and popular journalist Victoria Finlay, who here takes readers across
the globe and over the centuries on an unforgettable tour through the brilliant history of color in art. Writ-
ten for newcomers to the subject and aspiring young artists alike, Finlay’s quest to uncover the origins and
science of color will beguile readers of all ages with its warm and conversational style. Her rich narra-
tive is illustrated in full color throughout with 166 major works of art—most from the collections of the
J. Paul Getty Museum.
Readers of this book will revel in a treasure trove of fun-filled facts and anecdotes. Were it not for
Cleopatra, for instance, purple might not have become the royal color of the Western world. Without
Napoleon, the black graphite pencil might never have found its way into the hands of Cézanne. Without
mango-eating cows, the sunsets of Turner might have lost their shimmering glow. And were it not for the
pigment cobalt blue, the halls of museums worldwide might still be filled with forged Vermeers.
Red ocher, green earth, Indian yellow, lead white—no pigment from the artist’s broad and diverse
palette escapes Finlay’s shrewd eye in this breathtaking exploration.

This lavishly illustrated volume offers a

fascinating glimpse into Rubens’s artistic process

Spectacular Rubens
The Triumph of the Eucharist Series
Edited by Alejandro Vergara and Anne T. Woollett
The six glorious scenes that make up the Triumph of the Eucharist series by Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640)
are highlights of the Museo Nacional del Prado’s superb collection of Flemish paintings. Completed in 1626,
these brilliantly detailed sketches were painted at the behest of the Infanta Isabel Clara Eugenia in prepara-
tion for a series of monumental tapestries that are now considered among the finest made in Europe in
the seventeenth century. Unfortunately, additions to the wooden supports, introduced after the paintings
were created, made the panels considerably larger than Rubens intended and over time caused serious dam-
age to the original sections. With the aid of the Getty Foundation’s Panel Paintings Initiative, the panels
have been restored and returned to their original dimensions by the Prado, and the magnificent oil sketches
can once again be placed on public view. This lushly illustrated and illuminating volume provides new insight
into the history of the Eucharist series of paintings and tapestries and attests to Rubens’s exhilarating art.
Spectacular Rubens is published on the occasion of an exhibition of the paintings, on view at the
Museo Nacional del Prado from March 25 through June 29, 2014, and at the J. Paul Getty Museum from
October 14, 2014, through January 4, 2015.

An indelible portrait of how World War I
influenced a generation of visual artists

Nothing but the Clouds Unchanged

Artists in World War I
Edited by Gordon Hughes and Philipp Blom
Much of how World War I is understood today is rooted in the artistic depictions of the brutal violence
and considerable destruction that marked the conflict. Nothing but the Clouds Unchanged examines
how the physical and psychological devastation of the war altered the course of twentieth-century artistic
Modernism. Following the lives and works of fourteen artists before, during, and after the war, this book
demonstrates how the conflict and the resulting trauma actively shaped artistic production. Featured art-
ists include Georges Braque, Carlo Carrà, Otto Dix, Max Ernst, George Grosz, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Oskar
Kokoschka, Käthe Kollwitz, Fernand Léger, Wyndham Lewis, André Masson, László Moholy-Nagy, Paul Nash,
and Oskar Schlemmer. Materials from the Getty Research Institute’s special collections — including letters,
popular journals, posters, sketches, propaganda, books, and photographs — situate the works of the artists
within the historical context, both personal and cultural, in which they were created.
The volume accompanies a related exhibition on view at the Getty Research Institute Gallery from
November 25, 2014, to April 19, 2015.

This elegantly produced book unveils an ancient

The Berthouville Silver Treasure and Roman Luxury

Edited by Kenneth Lapatin
With contributions by Mathilde Avisseau-Broustet, Cécile Colonna, Isabelle Fauduet, Gaëlle Gautier,
Susan Lansing Maish, Ruth Leader-Newby, and Eduardo Sánchez
In 1830 a farmer plowing a field near the village of Berthouville in Normandy, France, discovered a trove
of ancient Roman silver objects weighing some 55 pounds (25 kilograms). The Berthouville treasure, as the
find came to be known, includes two statuettes representing the Gallo-Roman god Mercury and approxi-
mately sixty vessels — bowls, cups, pitchers, and plates, many of which bear votive inscriptions —along
with dozens of smaller components and fragments. Dedicated to Mercury by various individuals, the trea-
sure, including some of the finest ancient Roman silver to survive, fortunately escaped being melted down.
It was acquired by the Cabinet des médailles et antiques of the Bibliothèque Royale (now the Départe-
ment des Monnaies, médailles et antiques of the Bibliothèque nationale de France), where it was displayed
until late 2010, when it was brought in its entirety to the Getty Villa together with four large, late antique
silver plates, each with its own colorful history, for comprehensive conservation treatment.
This sumptuously illustrated volume is published to accompany an exhibition of the same name, open-
ing at the Getty Villa on November 18, 2014. It presents the highlights of the treasure and other Roman
luxury arts from the holdings of the Cabinet des médailles — including precious gems, jewelry, gold coins,
and colored marbles — and contextualizes them in a series of elucidating essays.

Kenneth Lapatin is associate curator of antiquities at the J. Paul Getty Museum. He is the coauthor

An ambitious consideration of the
dynamic interplay between Roman poetry
and visual art

The Museum of Augustus

The Temple of Apollo in Pompeii, the Portico of Philippus in Rome, and Latin Poetry
Peter Heslin
In the Odes, Horace writes of his own work, “I have built a monument more enduring than bronze,”— a
striking metaphor that hints at how the poetry and built environment of ancient Rome are inextricably
linked. This fascinating work of original scholarship makes the precise and detailed argument that painted
illustrations of the Trojan War, both public and private, were a collective visual resource for selected works
of Virgil, Horace, and Propertius. Carefully researched and skillfully reasoned, the author’s claims are bold
and innovative, offering a strong interpretation of the relationship between Roman visual culture and
literature that will deepen modern readings of Augustan poets.
The Museum of Augustus first provides a comprehensive reconstruction of paintings from the remain-
ing fragments of the cycle of Trojan frescoes that once decorated the Temple of Apollo in Pompeii. It then
finds the echoes of these paintings in the Augustan-dated Portico of Philippus, now destroyed, which was
itself a renovation of Rome’s de facto temple of the Muses — in other words, a museum, both in displaying
art and offering a meeting place for poets. It next examines the responses of the Augustan poets to the
decorative program of this monument that was intimately connected with their own literary aspirations.
The book concludes by looking at the way Horace in the Odes and Virgil in the Georgics both conceptual-
ized their poetic projects as temples to rival the museum of Augustus.

Historical Perspectives in the

Conservation of Works of Art on Paper
Edited by Margaret Holben Ellis
This book is the seventh in the Readings in Conservation series, which gathers and publishes texts that have
been influential in the development of thinking about the conservation of cultural heritage. The present
volume provides a selection of more than ninety-five texts tracing the development of the conservation
of works of art on paper.
Comprehensive and thorough, the book relates how paper conservation has responded to the changing
place of prints and drawings in society. The readings include a remarkable range of historical selections from
texts such as Renaissance printmaker Ugo da Carpi’s sixteenth-century petition to the Venetian senate on
his invention of chiaroscuro, Thomas Churchyard’s 1588 essay in verse “A Sparke of Frendship and Warme
Goodwill,” and Robert Bell’s 1773 piece “Observations Relative to the Manufacture of Paper and Printed
Books in the Province of Pennsylvania.” These are complemented by influential writings by such figures
as A. H. Munsell, Walter Benjamin, and Jacques Derrida, along with a generous representation of recent
scholarship. Each reading is introduced by short remarks explaining the rationale for its selection and the
principal matters covered, and the book is supplemented with a helpful bibliography. This volume is an
indispensable tool for museum curators, conservators, and students and teachers of the conservation of
works of art on paper.

Environmental Management for Collections

Alternative Conservation Strategies for Hot and Humid Climates
Shin Maekawa, Vincent L. Beltran, and Michael Henry
In recent years more cultural institutions in hot and humid climates have been installing air-conditioning
systems to protect their collections and provide comfort for both employees and visitors. This practice,
however, can pose complications, including problems of installation and maintenance as well as structural
damage to buildings, while failing to provide collections with a viable conservation environment.
This volume offers hands-on guidance to the specific challenges involved in conserving cultural
heritage in hot and humid climates. Initial chapters present scientific and geographic overviews of these
climates, outline risk-based classifications for environmental control, and discuss related issues of
human health and comfort. The authors then describe climate management strategies that offer effec-
tive and reliable alternatives to conventional air-conditioning systems and that require minimal inter-
vention to the historic fabric of buildings that house collections. The book concludes with seven case
studies of successful climate improvement projects undertaken by the Getty Conservation Institute in
collaboration with cultural institutions around the world. Appendixes include a unit conversion table, a
glossary, and a full bibliography.
This book is an essential tool for cultural heritage conservators and museum curators, as well as
other professionals involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of museums and other build-
ings housing cultural heritage collections in hot and humid climates.

Manuscript Cultures of Colonial Mexico and Peru

New Questions and Approaches
Edited by Thomas B. F. Cummins, Emily Engel, Barbara Anderson, and Juan Ossio
This volume showcases dynamic developments in the field of manuscript research that go beyond tradi-
tional textual, iconographic, or codicological studies. Using state-of-the-art conservation technologies,
scholars investigate how four manuscripts —the Galvin Murúa, the Getty Murúa, the Florentine Codex,
and the Relación de Michoacán — were created and demonstrate why these objects must be studied in a
comparative context. The forensic study of manuscripts provides art historians, anthropologists, curators,
and conservators with effective methods for determining authorship, identifying technical innovations, and
contextualizing illustrated histories. This information, in turn, allows for more nuanced arguments that
transcend the information that the written texts and painted images themselves provide. The book encour-
ages scholars to think broadly about the manuscripts of colonial Mexico and Peru in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries and employ new techniques and methods of research.

Explores the interplay between nineteenth-

century photography and Europe’s vision of the
Middle East

Photography’s Orientalism
New Essays on Colonial Representation
Edited by Ali Behdad and Luke Gartlan
The Middle East played a critical role in the development of photography as a new technology and an art
form. Likewise, photography was instrumental in cultivating and maintaining Europe’s distinctively Orientalist
vision of the Middle East. As new advances enhanced the versatility of the medium, nineteenth-century
photographers were able to mass-produce images to incite and satisfy the demands of the region’s burgeon-
ing tourist industry and the appetites of armchair travelers in Europe. In this way, the evolution of modern
photography fueled an interest in visual contact with the rest of the world.
Photography’s Orientalism offers the first in-depth cultural study of the works of European and non-
European photographers active in the Middle East and India, focusing on the photographic, literary, and
historical representations of this region and beyond. The essays explore the relationship between art and
politics by unpacking the connection between the European presence there and aesthetic representations
produced by traveling and resident photographers, thereby contributing to how the history of photogra-
phy is understood.

ALI BEHDAD is John Charles Hillis Professor of Literature and chair of the English Department at

A new translation of an influential sixteenth-

century study goes digital

The First Treatise on Museums

Samuel Quiccheberg’s Inscriptiones, 1565
Samuel Quiccheberg
Introduction by Mark A. Meadow
Translation by Mark A. Meadow and Bruce Robertson
Samuel Quiccheberg’s Inscriptiones, first published in Latin in 1565, is an ambitious effort to demonstrate
the pragmatic value of curiosity cabinets, or Wunderkammern, to princely collectors in sixteenth-century
Europe and, by so doing, inspire them to develop their own such collections. Quiccheberg shows how the
assembly and display of physical objects offered nobles a powerful means to expand visual knowledge,
allowing them to incorporate empirical and artisanal expertise into the realm of the written word. But in
mapping out the collectability of the material world, Quiccheberg did far more than create a taxonomy.
Rather, he demonstrated how organizing objects made their knowledge more accessible; how objects,
when juxtaposed or grouped, could tell a story; and how such strategies could enhance the value of any
single object.
Quiccheberg’s descriptions of early modern collections provide both a point of origin for today’s
museums and an implicit critique of their aims, asserting the fundamental research and scholarly value
of collections: collections are to be used, not merely viewed. The First Treatise on Museums makes Quicche-
berg’s now rare publication available in an English translation. Complementing the translation are a
critical introduction by Mark A. Meadow and a preface by Bruce Robertson.

Mark A. Meadow is associate professor in the Department of History of Art and Architecture at the
University of California, Santa Barbara. His publications include Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s Netherlandish
Proverbs and the Practice of Rhetoric and a translation of Symon Andriessoon’s Duytsche Adagia ofte
