This book is designed for the exhibition of the collection of Mr.
Guy Ladriere, which will be presented by the School of Jewelery
Arts from 12 May to the 1 October 2022, under the commission of Mr.
Philippe Malgouyres, chief curator of heritage in the art
department of the Louvre. Widely illustrated and documented, this
book will constitute a genuine introductory manual to the art of
glyptics, thanks to its chrono-thematic approach to the history of
engraved stones in the West. The author reveals a whole world in
miniature, fascinating kings and emperors as much as collectors and
art lovers. With materials with subtle engraved effects, cameos
(relief engraving) and intaglios (intaglio engraving) have come
down to us as jewels or relics, thus following all the themes of
the History of Art: mythologies, symbols, portraits, allegories,
etc.
