Turn of the sea : Art from the Eastern Trade Routes /edited by Luâisa Vinhais and Jorge Welsh. "This catalogue includes works of art from Africa, India, Sri Lanka, China, and Japan, which travelled to the West via maritime trade routes opened and operated by Europeans, and focuses on the quintessential examples of their time. Totalling 69 entries, this selection ranges from brass works from the Kingdom of Benin to Indian silver filigree, Sinhalese ivory furniture, Chinese porcelain, and Japanese lacquer, among other pieces. By encompassing new symbols, decorative patterns, shapes, functions, materials, and techniques, these works of art were originally intended to fulfil different needs throughout the world and help to document the social transformations that arose from the opening of direct channels of trade. At the same time, all of these works of art embody the theme of intercultural exchange, which led to the creation of new traditions and forms of art that resonate in our ever-more international cultures of today."--Provided by the publisher. 2017 • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 7(5/6)

Emma Hamilton : seduction and celebrity /edited by Quintin Colville with Kate Williams. Accompanying a major exhibition at the National Maritime Museum, this book provides a fresh evaluation of Emma Hamilton's artistic undertakings, cultural achievements and legacy. Emma Hamilton (1765-1815) rose to national and international fame as a model, performer, trendsetter and interpreter of neoclassical fashion. Yet she is often presented as the muse to painters such as George Romney, or partially obscured by the reputation of her lover, Horatio Nelson, hero of naval battles in the Napoleonic Wars. The tragic trajectory of her life, from childhood prostitution to final destitution and neglect, has also been used to present her story as by turns sordid and ridiculous. This publication aims to recover Emma from myth and misrepresentation, and reveals her as an active and influential historical actor in her own right. The arc of this life is viewed through a new lens, one that places her in a wider context of female celebrity in a society that severely restricted women's opportunities and in which divorce was a far greater shame than infidelity or cruelty. 2016. • BOOK • 2 copies available. 940.2
