Sinopse

Lost Art Treasures explores the shadowy world of stolen, missing, and misplaced masterpieces, delving into the circumstances of their disappearances and the ongoing quests for their recovery. These treasures represent more than mere monetary value; they are vital pieces of our cultural heritage, and their absence leaves a significant void in our understanding of art history.

 
The book examines famous cases, such as the Just Judges panel of the Ghent Altarpiece and the Amber Room, highlighting the historical context, investigative processes, and the impact of these losses on the art world.

 
The book uniquely blends art history with elements of criminology and international law. It presents meticulously researched accounts, drawing from diverse sources like archival documents and forensic analysis, to reveal the sophisticated networks involved in art crime.

 
The narrative progresses from an introduction of the concept of art crime through detailed narratives of specific lost works, concluding with ethical implications of art recovery.

    Lucky you! You found a bundle! This is a combo book with multiple titles, which are the following: 
    Ghosts of Scotland: Whether you believe in the supernatural elements or not, it is fascinating to see how the idea of ghosts happened, and how it developed over the ages. Even if they're really there, it can be said that many individuals have been totally wrong about them. And so, it is pretty much up to us to study them and sort out what the most credible, spiritual truths could be, based upon our own beliefs blended with the stories and testaments of others. 
    Scottish History: Scotland is an old country with an ancient history. There is no doubt about that. Many traditions, words, symbols, and other cultural aspects we see as normal today, originate from Scotland. With all of this history and more in the past few centuries, when things got really interesting, let’s take a look at some of the best-known, most important factors of Scotland’s history, and what we can learn from them. 
    Wars of Scottish Independence: Knowing everything we do about siege warfare and the medieval way of conquering and being conquered, this book sheds more light on the series of wars that formed the initiative to become independent as a Scottish nation. There is much confusion about the Scottish wars of independence, and in this book, we will clarify some of that. 
    William Wallace: The Film "Brave Heart" has it right on some points but does a bad job with historic precision with others, most likely because they're just attempting to dramatize a Hollywood film, not promoting dull precision. Let's see what info we can learn from history about the real William Wallace. William Wallace was a Scottish knight.
