Overview
Based on the critically acclaimed video series of the same name, Cocktails with a Curator is a collection of lively and informative essays. Paintings, sculpture, furniture, and porcelaināfrom medieval times through the glorious Renaissance to the early twentieth centuryāare discussed for their exemplary status. The creators are some of the greatest artists and include Rembrandt, Vermeer, Whistler, Manet, VelĆ”zquez, and Veronese, and the stories (of both artists and subjects) are tantalizing. Cocktails, with recipes, are thematically paired with the works: a Jaded Countess (absinthe, vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup) with Ingresās portrait Comtesse dāHaussonville; a classic Pimmās Cup with Gainsboroughās depiction of English beauty Grace Dalrymple Elliott; and a Bloody Mary (named after the last Catholic regnant queen of England) with Holbeinās painting of Sir Thomas More, who opposed the Reformation of Maryās father, Henry VIII. The perfect addition to any art connoisseurās library, this book is an innovative and intoxicating way to enjoy the treasures of a world-renowned art collection.
