This catalogue consists of over 600 drawings, most of them beautifully finished in pen and ink, for sixteenth-century jewels, seals and medals. Most are by Etienne Delaune (1518-1583) and include many elegant designs for jewellery and other ornaments for Catherine de Medici, her husband, Henri II and their sons Francois II, Charles IX, and Henri III. The collection is a unique survival from the French Renaissance, unequalled in the quantity and quality of the designs.

Oxford was the home base for England's Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group that included, for a time, a few women. This book delves into how and why Rossetti, Millais, Hunt and others broke the conventional rules of picture making in their day.

Ashmolean Museum

This fascinating book, which accompanied a major exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford and the Städel Museum, Frankfurt, sets out to re-appraise the work of 17th-century landscape painter Claude Lorrain and look at it through fresh eyes. It unites in a single volume paintings, drawings and prints from all periods of the artist's life, highlighting not only the well-documented similarities between paintings and related works on paper, but also the essential differences between these different art forms.

French Drawing & Watercolors (Ashmolean Handbooks)

This history of French drawing is not the same thing as a history of French painting, although they often overlap and merge. Drawing is the foundation where creativity first finds its expression.
