Assouline and Jewels of the Renaissance
Assouline has republished the text of the book Renaissance Jewellery written in 1979 by Yvonne Hackenbrock, a historian who officiated at British Museum and was curator specializing in Renaissance art at the MET. We learn that Francis I is at the origin of the Crown Jewels of France collection intended to display the prestige of the monarchy.
