This volume catalogues artworks from the Fondation Gandur pour l'Art collection, established in 2010. The collection emphasizes aesthetic appeal, craftsmanship, and historical significance, with decorative aspects being as crucial as narrative content. It features sculptures, including statuettes and ornamental reliefs, alongside two-dimensional works depicting classical antiquity or Christian themes.
The sculptural pieces span from the 12th to the 18th century, reflecting centuries of cultural exchange between France and neighboring regions. The book highlights the hybrid styles, originality, and aesthetic quality of these works, arranged by topic to showcase the collection's richness and diverse subjects.
