A Prize Dedicated to the Promotion of Artistic Culture
Each year, the SNA Art Book Prize honors the author of an illustrated and thoroughly documented publication in the field of art, recognizing works that contribute to the dissemination of French culture and artistic heritage.
Awarded by a jury composed of nine distinguished figures from the worlds of art and literature, the prize highlights outstanding publications that make art history and cultural heritage accessible to a wide audience.
A Landmark Work on Goldsmithing
With Goldsmithing from the Renaissance and Modern Times, the jury recognized an exceptional work dedicated to one of the most refined disciplines of the decorative arts. Richly illustrated and extensively researched, the book provides an in-depth exploration of the history, techniques, and craftsmanship associated with goldsmithing.
Through this distinction, the SNA honors a publication that actively contributes to the preservation and promotion of artistic heritage while sharing knowledge with art lovers, collectors, researchers, and enthusiasts alike.
A Prize Supporting the Influence of Art
By awarding this publication, the 2023 SNA Art Book Prize reaffirms its mission: to support and celebrate books that help preserve artistic knowledge, promote cultural heritage, and foster a greater appreciation of art among the general public.
