Time gives objects their shape; defines their style; determines their function, so- cial utility, and the choice of materials and techniques; indicates origin; hones taste; and reveals context. Time is interpreted through eight values inspired by Italo Calvino’s Lezioni Americane, or Six Memos for the Next Millennium, to honor the iconic pieces created by Van Cleef & Arpels over the years, from Art Deco masterpieces to the illustrious Zip neck- lace, gravity-defying Mystery Set or celebrated Minaudières—some of the most important innovations in the history of 20th century jewelry-making. Nature plays an equally important role for Van Cleef & Arpels as an ever-present source of inspiration and tribute, embodied in unique gems and timeless master- pieces drawing on flora and fauna. Van Cleef & Arpels is founded on love, the most powerful energy in the world. Each object is handcrafted with love, and Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry has sealed some of the century’s most legendary love stories.

Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper New Titles Ancient Art for François I A Masterpiece in Gold and Silk edited by Pietro Marani Specifications size 91⁄2 × 11 in. (24 × 28 cm) 240 pages 100 colour illustrations hardcover ISBN 978-2-37074-126-4 £ 35.00, $ 45.00 The tapestry reproducing Publication Leonardo’s Last Supper: January 2020 a masterpiece in gold and silk F or the first time since its restoration, the copy of the Last Supper by Leon- ardo da Vinci, a tapestry made between 1505 and 1510, commissioned by Louise de Savoie and François, Duke of Angoulême, future king of France, is unveiled to the public. The tapestry, a monumental work measuring 6.5 × 9 m, preserved in the Vat- ican Museums, was probably woven in Flanders by a Lombard artist, such as Bramantin or Marco d’Oggiono, artists known to have painted, as early as 1503, copies of Leonardo’s fresco. The tapestry represents one of the first copies of the masterpiece intended for the French court and testifies to the admiration of the kings of France for the artist. This book will also highlight the previous relationship between Louis XII’s court and the Italian master and his disciples, such Andrea Solario, Andrea del Sarto and Bernadino de Conti. The essays will also focus on Leonardo da Vinci’s journey to and stay in France, through some copies of his most famous paintings, prints and watercolours. Specialists in both Leonardo’s art and tapestries of the sixteenth and seven- teenth centuries shed light on the provenance and making of this work, as well as its meticulous restoration. • Focus on a recently restored masterpiece that has never before left the Vatican. • 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci. Pietro Marani is a leading specialist of Renaissance art and Leonardo da Vinci’s work. 22
