Description
Celebrating five centuries of artistic exchange between Scotland and France, this collection of poems explores the intricate relationships between art and poetry. The poems themselves are portraits of artists, reflecting on their craft and the nature of creativity. From the studio of a portrait painter to the mint, where a monarch's likeness was stamped onto coins, these poems examine the ways in which art is both a product of its time and a reflection of the human experience. The result is a nuanced and thought-provoking work that sheds light on the enduring bond between art and poetry.
