"An opulent new book...relates how classical design was marshalled to communicate the Enlightenment principles that shaped a young country and continued to lend it authority on a global stage...The Franklin room was gasp-inducing" -- The New York T imes "This is a long overdue and comprehensive presentation of this nationally significant collection, making it accessible to a wider public audience. It is a high-quality publication that beautifully presents the collection's impressive artifacts with the attention they deserve." --Thomas Luebke, Secretary, Commission of Fine Arts "Is the book gorgeous? Do the various writers make you interested in whatever they are talking about? Both answers are a resounding yes." -- Goodreads 5 stars, Brendan Dowd, History Nerds United "Who knew that the austere and massive Truman Building at the Department of State contained such magnificent works of art?

Synopsis
The first volume in more than 20 years tells a new and modern story of the U.S. State Department's Diplomatic Reception Rooms, one of the top collections of American fine and decorative arts in existence. Winner, NYC Big Book Award 2023, Fine Arts; Best Art Book, American Book Fest Award, 2023 The art of United States diplomacy has been conducted over more than two centuries with figures from all over the world, in peacetime and in conflict. For the last six decades, these negotiations have taken place in the rarified environment of the Diplomatic Reception Rooms at the U.S. Department of State. Tucked inside the modern Truman Building in the center of Washington, D.C., lies this special suite of rooms transformed by four renowned architects--gems of classical architecture brimming with exceptional American art and artifacts that tell the story of the nation's founding and represent the singular ideals of the American character. Housing one of the finest collections in the world, along with the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Winterthur, these rooms display more than 5,000 objects, including paintings by John Singleton Copley and Gilbert Stuart; silver and porcelain owned by George Washington and other presidents; fine furniture; maps and documents; prints and drawings, not to mention the very desk the Treaty of Paris that ended the Revolutionary War was signed on. With all-new photography and essays, this book captures the history of the rooms and explores more than 150 examples of the extraordinary American art that animates the exquisite spaces., The first volume in more than 20 years tells a new and modern story of the U.S. State Department's Diplomatic Reception Rooms, one of the top collections of American fine and decorative arts in existence.
