About the Item

The Metropolitan Museum of Art: Europe in the Age of Monarchy. Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1987, NY. 1st Ed hardcover. The seventeenth century in Europe rings with the names of the great sovereigns who had succeeded in creating nations by subjugating the feudal aristocracy and at whose courts power and wealth were concentrated and the arts flourished. Elizabeth I of England secured for her heirs the Protestant succession and for her country mastery of the seas; Louis XIV of France assembled his defeated vassals at Versailles; Gustavus II Adolphus and Christina of Sweden were for a time the most powerful Protestant monarchs on the Continent; Philip III and Philip IV of Spain ruled a vast empire in the New World and intrigued to maintain Habsburg power in the old; and Peter the Great of Russia consolidated the power of the House of Romanov and used it to push his country into the mainstream of European political, intellectual, and artistic life. NPT Books a division of N.P. Trent Antiques has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
