Abstract: George Granville Leveson-Gower, 1st Duke of Sutherland KG, PC (1758 - 1833), known as Viscount Trentham from 1758 to 1786, as Earl Gower from 1786 to 1803 and as The Marquess of Stafford from 1803 to 1833, was a British politician, diplomat, landowner and patron of the arts. He is estimated to have been the wealthiest man of the 19th-century. He remains a controversial figure for his role in the Highland Clearances. James Loch became interested in the management of estates, and was simultaneously auditor to the George, Marquis of Stafford (who married Elizabeth, Countess of Sutherland, and became shortly before he died Duke of Sutherland). In this capacity he was responsible for much of the policy respecting the agricultural labourers and the improvement of agriculture pursued over tens of thousands of acres both in England and Scotland. The "Sutherlandshire clearances" of George, Marquis of Stafford, by which between 1811 and 1820 fifteen thousand crofters were removed from the inland to the seacoast districts, were carried out under his supervision.

#337733 Arte Pittura
Lagune 1996, cm.24,5x32,5, pp.390, illustrato a colori. legatura editoriale cartonata con sopraccoperta figurata a colori. Depuis la monographie de Teriso Pignatti publiée en 1969, aucun ouvrage n'a fait le point sur la confusion née du mystère qui fonde l'œuvre de Giorgione et de ses attributions. A travers l'analyse d'archives ou d'inventaires inédits, la juxtaposition des études passées et des analyses scientifiques récentes, le recensement de toutes les œuvres attribuées à ce jour au peintre ainsi qu'une nouvelle édition critique des documents et sources, ce livre propose un état des lieux exhaustif de son œuvre. A la fois monographique et catalogue raisonné, il énonce de nouvelles interprétations, présente un fragment de fresque dont tout porte à croire qu'il proviendrait du Fondaco dei Tedeschi à Venise et serait de la main du Maître de Castelfranco, levant ainsi un pan du voile qui recouvre encore cet immense peintre de la Renaissance italienne.
