{"product_id":"william-burgess-great-bookcase-and-charlotte-ribeyrol-9780300267976","title":"William Burges's Great Bookcase and the Victorian Colour Revolution","description":"Charlotte Ribeyrol presents a fascinating (book)case study exploring the story of an extraordinary object, William Burges's (1827-1881) Great Bookcase. No fewer than 13 major artists, including Edward Burne-Jones, Edward Poynter, and Albert Moore, took part in the painting of this unique piece of furniture, which has now returned to the Ashmolean Museum after an absence of over 80 years. Ribeyrol throws new light on the chromophilia of the \"Pre-Raphaelite\" architect William Burges and his key role in shaping aesthetic debates about color in the 1860s. This crucial decade, which saw the advent of the first synthetic dyes, transformed the experience of color for many painters and poets in Burges's circle. Interweaving art, literature, and chemistry, Ribeyrol reads the eight painted panels of the Great Bookcase in the context of this 'color revolution', which brought to the fore new approaches to color while simultaneously triggering a revival of the polychromy of the Pagan and Christian past. Drawing on pioneering interdisciplinary research and featuring new photography throughout, this book provides a definitive account of one of Burges's most cherished and complex artworks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charlotte Ribeyrol\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300267975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300267976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.87h x 8.58w x 0.94d","brand":"Charlotte Ribeyrol","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072609218815,"sku":"9780300267976","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fd1f680d-0e0e-461f-902b-3a8865c550f7.jpg?v=1685442995","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/william-burgess-great-bookcase-and-charlotte-ribeyrol-9780300267976","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
