Fedor Tolstoi 1783–1873: k 250-letiiu so dnai rozhdeniia (Fedor Tolstoi 1783–1873: [Catalogue Published on the Occasion of] the 250th anniversary of His Birth)

St. Petersburg: Rus muz, 2008. Sewn cl. Tolstoi’s aristocratic origin, training as a naval officer, and versatility of talent have perhaps distracted art historians from seeing the gist of his career: a powerful imagination and honed mastery at creating images of his age. The series of allegorical medals done for the war against Napoleon, the portrait reliefs of his own family, the sculptures of mythological characters, the silhouettes of battle, street and rural scenes, and his designs for porcelain all capture in forceful images the style of his age and its main events. 156 p., 10 x 9 ins., 49 b-&-w illus., 166 color, sewn cl. Rus. Item #1698
