A Treasure Trove of Art History, via:
Veritas Books & Bees:
We’re thrilled to announce that we've inherited an extraordinary collection of over 4,000 rare and beautiful books from my wife Miri's late mother, Mary Newcome-Schleier, a renowned art historian specializing in 17th-century Baroque art.
These exquisite volumes, many of which are museum-quality coffee table books, are primarily in Italian, English, and German. They offer a captivating journey through European art history, from the 15th to the 18th centuries.
We're excited to share this treasure trove with art enthusiasts worldwide. You can view them here; click on any cover image for more details, and feel free to contact us directly if you’re looking for something particular (meanwhile, stay tuned as we revitalize our Amazon store to bring these stunning books to you).
A Glimpse into Miri's Perspective:
”I have recently acquired 4000+ books, extracts, and catalogs for which I now seek a new home. Being the only child of art historians makes this a bit like fostering a pet; I know enough about books and art history to be naively conversant in art, and my memories being of those "white rabbits," and other misc. iconography of the European 15-18th centuries.”
