夏洛特·里贝罗尔呈现了一项引人入胜的（书籍）案例研究，探索了威廉·伯吉斯（1827-1881）的伟大书架这一非凡物品的故事。不少于13位主要艺术家，包括爱德华·伯恩-琼斯、爱德华·波因特和阿尔伯特·摩尔，都参与了这件独特家具的绘制工作，而这件作品在缺席80多年后现已重返阿什莫林博物馆。里贝罗尔揭示了“前拉斐尔派”建筑师威廉·伯吉斯的色彩狂热，以及他在19世纪60年代塑造关于色彩的审美辩论中的关键作用。在这个至关重要的十年里，第一批合成染料的出现改变了伯吉斯圈子中许多画家和诗人对色彩的体验。里贝罗尔将艺术、文学和化学交织在一起，在“色彩革命”的背景下解读了伟大书架上的八块彩绘面板，这场革命催生了色彩运用的新方法，同时引发了对古代和基督教时期多色艺术的复兴。本书基于开创性的跨学科研究，并配有全新的摄影作品，对伯吉斯最珍视且最复杂的艺术作品之一进行了权威性的阐述。

Charlotte Ribeyrol presents a fascinating (book)case study exploring the story of an extraordinary object, William Burges’s (1827–1881) Great Bookcase. No fewer than 13 major artists, including Edward Burne-Jones, Edward Poynter, and Albert Moore, took part in the painting of this unique piece of furniture, which has now returned to the Ashmolean Museum after an absence of over 80 years. Ribeyrol throws new light on the chromophilia of the “Pre-Raphaelite” architect William Burges and his key role in shaping aesthetic debates about color in the 1860s. This crucial decade, which saw the advent of the first synthetic dyes, transformed the experience of color for many painters and poets in Burges’s circle. Interweaving art, literature, and chemistry, Ribeyrol reads the eight painted panels of the Great Bookcase in the context of this ‘color revolution’, which brought to the fore new approaches to color while simultaneously triggering a revival of the polychromy of the Pagan and Christian past. Drawing on pioneering interdisciplinary research and featuring new photography throughout, this book provides a definitive account of one of Burges’s most cherished and complex artworks.
