Furniture -- Additional Works in the Flagg Collection N2 - "The Richard and Erna Flagg collection, formed over six decades and given and loaned to the Milwaukee Art Museum in 1991, is one of the most important single donations of earlier European decorative arts to an American museum. It includes unique and historically significant objects that provide insight into the culture, religion, and history of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Although enormously varied in style and country of origin, these works are united in their emphasis on virtuoso displays of craftsmanship, technical innovation, intricate artistry, and precious materials." "A Renaissance Treasury catalogues 112 objects in all; of these, 77 are reproduced, mostly in color, with authoritative commentary on their formal, social, and religious significance."--BOOK JACKET ER -
