Description: 1971, (21,5 x 30 cm) 320 pp., Deutsch, numerous ills., hardcover and dustjacket. Originally published in Italian in 1969. Guld und Juwelen is divided into eight chapters: Gold; Coloured stones in jewelry; The Middle Ages; The Renaissance; The Baroque period; The 18th century; The 19th century; and 1870 to the present day. Although European jewelry dominates, ancient Egypt, India, pre-Columbian America, Africa, and the Far East are also represented in these pages. The author(Director of the Poldi Pezzoli Museum in Milan), takes the reader on a journey that starts in human pre-history and ends with a chapter on the jewelry produced by 20th Century artists such as Max Ernst and Salvador Dali. Fabergé, Lalique, and Gautriat are also represented by some of the most beautiful jewelry in this book. Many of the illustrations are taken from Renaissance and Baroque paintings, although the majority are photographs of necklaces, earrings, crowns, diadems, bodice ornaments, hat pins, bracelets, hair nets, and compete parures.
