Alberto Pinto is among the most celebrated interior designers at work today and is known primarily for his highly creative use of color and texture to achieve the effect of unparalleled opulence. Here, Pinto turns his attention to intimate and personal spaces. Pinto succeeds in giving each of the forty bedrooms in this book his unequaled touch of grandeur while evoking its owner's personality. Under Pinto's direction, the bedroom becomes a fantasy-like oasis adorned with water elements, fine damasks, gorgeously colored mosaics, fancy brocades, or neo-classical columns. The resulting rooms are contemporary bedrooms--some more appropriately described as suites rather than single rooms--from Europe and North America that evoke a spectrum of classical styles updated for the finest in twenty-first century living.Alberto Pinto's bedrooms are spaces that are grand and yet intimate. Each one will be an inspiration to anyone who is designing or redecorating a bedroom.

500 Masterpieces of Russian Painting 

Jeffrey Chipps Smith

These beautifully illustrated books by leading experts focus on major paintings, sculptures, and objects from the Kimbell's outstanding permanent collection. Each volume presents the latest advances in scholarship and new insights of interest both to specialists and to the wider public.
Virtually unknown until recently, the Kimbell Virgin and Child (1486) is arguably the finest surviving example of the silver religious statuary so prized in pre-Reformation Germany, where patrons valued the art of the goldsmith even above painting and sculpture. Made for Wilhelm von Reichenau, a powerful Franconian bishop of Eichstätt, the statuette came onto the market when church property was secularized in the early 19th century and was long owned by the Rothschild family.
This handsome book is the first to examine this exquisite object and its fascinating history. Distinguished scholar Jeffrey Chipps Smith looks at the creation of the statuette in Augsburg, its place in the context of other works of art in Eichstätt, and the compelling story of Bishop Reichenau and his intense devotion to the Virgin Mary.
