Perfect Likeness. European and American Porttrait Miniatures from the Cincinnati Art Museum
02 2006, 25,3 x 29,1 cm), 344 pp., English text, over 200 ills., in colour, hardcover with dustwrappers.
¶ Diminutive marvels of artistry and fine craftsmanship, portrait miniatures reveal a wealth of information within their small frames. They can tell tales of cultural history and biography, of people and their passions, of evolving tastes in jewelry, fashion, hairstyles, and the decorative arts. Unlike many other genres, miniatures have a tradition in which amateurs and professionals have operated in parallel and women artists have flourished as professionals. This richly illustrated book presents approximately 180 portrait miniatures selected from the holdings of the Cincinnati Art Museum, the largest and most diverse collection of its kind in North America. The book stresses the continuity of stylistic tradition across Europe and America as well as the vitality of the portrait miniature format through more than four centuries. A detailed catalogue entry, as well as a concise artist biography, appears for each object. Essays examine various aspects of miniature painting, of the depiction of costume in miniatures, and of the allied art of hair work.

Miniaturen der Zeit Napoleons aus der Sammlung Tansey / Miniatures from the the of Napoleon in the Tansey Collection.
2020, (23 x 29,5 cm), 452 pp. English / German text, 225 colour ills., hardcover.
¶ The publication focuses on 150 portrait miniatures from the age of Napoleon I. They provide us with an astonishingly direct view of people who lived in this turbulent, war-torn period. The works are presented in detail in image and text. Essays by a number of experts on miniature painting round out the subject. The 150 portrait miniatures from the age of Napoleon I (between 1795 and 1815) included in this volume surprise the viewer with their high artistic level and their craftsmanship. Unlike the dramatically exaggerated portraits of absolutism we see here realistic people who look remarkably modern - a gallery of women, men and children from a time of political upheaval dominated by wars.

Miniatures from the Time of Marie Antoinette in the Tansey Collection./ Miniaturen der Zeit Marie Antoinettes aus der Sammlung Tansey.
(24 x 30 cm) 500 pp. English ./German text, 233 motsly colour ills., hardcover.
¶ Volume 5 in the series Miniatures from 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. 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.

Vlaamse miniaturen
2011, (23 x 28 cm), 420 pp. Dutch text, 230 ills. (colour & b/w.), hardcover.
¶ De 15de eeuw was het hoogtepunt van de Vlaamse miniatuurkunst. De kunst van de verluchting, de schilderkunst in de boeken, genoot toen een succes zonder voorgaande in de Zuidelijke Nederlanden. Vooral onder het bewind van bibliofiel Filips de Goede was er een belangrijke impuls aan de miniatuurkunst. Hij deed een beroep op de beste verluchters om tegemoet te komen aan zijn wensen. In zijn spoor plaatsten ook ridders, geestelijken en de stedelijke bourgeoisie bestellingen bij talentrijke verluchters zoals Lieven Van Lathem, Willem Vrelant of de Meester van Wavrin, in die tijd even vertrouwde namen als Rogier van der Weyden of Hans Memling dat vandaag nog zijn. Het waren stuk voor stuk gerenommeerde kunstenaars die onvermoeibaar werkten aan het illustreren van kronieken, ridderromans, traktaten over de jacht of devotietraktaten. Zo ontstonden echte meesterwerken waarvan de artistieke kwaliteit amper haar gelijke vindt.
