On behalf of the editorial board of the John Shearman Festschrift Project,
I wish to alert you to a unique opportunity to purchase an outstanding
volume of studies in Renaissance and Baroque art history, *Coming About. . .
A Festschrift for John Shearman*, ed. Lars R. Jones & Louisa C. Matthew
(Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Art Museums; ISBN 1-891771-11-6). The
volume will go to the press in early July and will be available by
September 2001; information about the volume can be found below.
The project's funds permit a press run of only 500 copies, and half the
press run has already been reserved by individual scholars. At this rate,
the board is concerned that an insufficient number of volumes will find
homes in research libraries where they can benefit a larger audience of
students and scholars.
To order one or more copies of this volume (priced at $95 each), please
contact:

We would appreciate it if you would pass this information on to the person responsible for purchasing books for your library. Thank you.

DESCRIPTION
*Coming About. . . A Festschrift for John Shearman* is a volume of essays
dedicated to Professor John Shearman of Harvard University, a leading
expert in the art and architecture of Renaissance Italy and an influential
teacher and mentor. This volume will comprise contributions by fifty-two
scholars who studied with Professor Shearman at Harvard University,
Princeton University, and the Courtauld Institute at the University of
London. These contributors include leading scholars in the fields of
Renaissance and Baroque art and architecture, as well as up-and-coming
younger scholars affiliated with major academic institutions and museums
throughout Europe and North America. The majority of essays will focus on
and make important contributions to the study of Italian Renaissance and
Baroque architecture, painting, sculpture, and works on paper. The volume,
comprising approximately 400 pages and 220 black-and-white illustrations,
will be available from Harvard University Art Museums as a handsome,
large-format, hardcover book by September of 2001. The press run is limited
to 500 copies, and the price is $95.
