Modern Art Press is thrilled to announce the publication of European Sculpture in the Collection of His Majesty The King by Jonathan Marsden. Published in association with Royal Collection Trust. 

Sculpture is the last major field of European art in the Royal Collection yet to have been published. The product of twenty-five years of work by a leading scholar in the field, this four-volume publication marks the completion of one of the most ambitious stages in the long-term task of cataloguing the Collection, bringing full descriptions and illustrations of some 1,800 works of art into print for the first time.

With an introductory survey covering the relationships between British monarchs and sculptors since the seventeenth century and the impact of sculpture in the interiors of the royal palaces over the same period, the admirably clear and engaging text is essential reading for students of royal collecting. It is accompanied by almost 2,000 illustrations, most of which have been commissioned for this book.
