About the book >.>.> This volume of essays commemorates the sixtieth birthday of Sir Anthony Blunt, marking both his birthday and the twentieth anniversary of his appointment as Director of the Courtauld Institute. While the timing may seem early for a Festschrift, the significance of these milestones motivated a tribute to his influential work and contributions.In curating this collection, the Editorial Committee faced a challenge due to the vastness of Blunt's professional network and his broad interests in art history. A decision was made to focus the contributions on specific subject matter, specifically French and Italian art and architecture from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries?fields where Blunt has made significant scholarly impacts. Consequently, the committee invited scholars whose essays reflect these areas of study, ensuring coherence and relevance to Blunt's legacy. This selection process, while necessary, inevitably meant that some of his colleagues and students could not be included, a choice the editors hope will be understood by all.The volume also acknowledges the support received from Phaidon Press, which embraced the project enthusiastically, and the generosity of Courtaulds Ltd. for their financial contributions to its production. Special thanks are extended to Angela Benham, Susan Weatherby, and Flavia Grant-Duff for their assistance in both secretarial and editorial roles. The hard work of the Editorial Committee, particularly that of Michael Kitson and John Shearman, is noted for its importance in bringing this collection together. This book stands as a testament to Blunt's enduring influence in the field of art history. Codice articolo Batch-FM685-G-13993
