The Decorative Arts (I), Sculptures, Enamels, Maiolicas, and Tapestries
This first catalogue of the Fondation Gandur pour l’Art’s decorative arts collection is devoted to works of Western art, from the twelfth to the eighteenth century, which serve both an ornamental and a narrative purpose. Sacred and profane, carrying symbolic or spiritual value, these sculptures, enamelled plaques, maiolica ware, and tapestries draw their inspiration from the repertories of Christian and ancient subjects that make up European culture.
