Les collections royales examines the art objects and sculptures that have formed part of royal holdings throughout history. Author Stéphane Castelluccio presents a detailed study of how monarchs acquired, displayed, and preserved works of art, focusing on the cultural and political significance of these assemblages. The book draws on archival sources and scholarly research to trace the evolution of private and public collections from the Renaissance to the modern era. Illustrated with photographs and catalog entries, it offers insight into the tastes of rulers and the role of art in projecting power and prestige. Published in 2002 by Amateur, the hardcover edition spans 271 pages and includes bibliographic references and an index. Written in French, the volume serves as a resource for historians, art scholars, and anyone interested in the intersection of monarchy and material culture.
