This exhibition catalogue presents a meticulous selection of 'illustrated' works encompassing Picasso's entire career. Shining a light on this relatively unknown aspect of the artist are some 200 illustrated works as well as some of his major masterpieces, archival documents, films and extracts of recordings, which together capture the inventive diversity and wealth of his oeuvre and further underpins the major role Picasso played - and still plays to this day - in art history. Text in English, French and Dutch.
Furusiyya in the East meets Chivalry in the West. Discover how these distinct practices of combat and knightly values led to a specific culture in the Islamic East and the largely Christian West. This unique exhibition explores the ancient roots of chivalry as well as the role of a knight in combat and the different chivalric codes that developed around the world, from Iraq and Syria in the East, to France and Spain in the West. With over 130 rare artworks from the 10th to the beginning of the 16th centuries, including spectacular arms, armour, and rare manuscripts, readers will discover how some of these practices and the knightly spirit became a past time, and how some of them continue around the world to this day.
