"This major contribution to the studies of the Victorian era explores the period from Queen Victoria's accession in 1837 to Prince Albert's death in 1861. These were the times when Buckingham Palace was known as 'the headquarters of taste', when royal patronage was still an essential part in a successful artistic career, and when the royal couple were passionately involved together in the artistic life of the nation." "Victoria and Albert were enthusiastic patrons of the arts throughout their marriage, commissioning and collecting works from both British and European artists. This book reveals the closeness of their relationships with particular artist - Landseer, Gibson, Marochetti, Winterhalter, Dyce, Gruner and Triqueti - and in over 450 colour illustrations examines the complete range of their extensive personal collection, from Old Master paintings to sculpture, furniture, jewellery and fine bindings. This book also features their own artistic work, from paintings, drawings and etchings to the souvenir albums lovingly assembled to record and commemorate their family life." "In addition, both Queen Victoria and Prince Albert viewed their roles as patrons of the arts as being part of the public duties of the monarchy, and as a reflection of the artistic life of the nation as a whole. Victoria & Albert Art & love includes new research not only on the couple's private commissions, but also on their involvement in the ground breaking 'Great Exhibition' in 1851."--BOOK JACKET.
