CONISBEE, Philip. Painting in Eighteenth-Century France

Hardback, with dustwrapper. Has a one inch (two and a half centimetre) tear to the corner of the front cover and also has some rubbing to the spine. Overall the book remains in Good condition.

[From the cover] Conisbee "deals with the painter’s world - the traditional training provided by the Academy in Paris and Rome; the Paris Salon and other exhibitions; and the relations between artists and their public. He discusses the major role of religious painting in the so-called ‘Age of Reason’; deals with secular history painting, with emphasis on the renewed state interest in didactic art from around 1750; and examines the lighter side of artistic taste (the tradition of fetes galantes, whose exponents included Watteau, Boucher and Fragonard). Subsequent chapters survey portraiture and landscape painting"
