Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition of Engravings After Watteau, Lancret, Pater, Chardin, Boucher, Van Loo, Fragonard, and Other Artists of the XVIII Century in France: With an Introduction and Biographical Notes HE Eighteenth Century in France is the playground of the collector. Never before or since has the Art of Living attained to a like perfection, never such attention been given to the acces sories of life. This is attested by number less paintings and engravings which form an invaluable record of an age which can never return. To please was almost the sole preoccupation; to beautify, to render more agreeable the daily life of a society devoted to pleasure, past masters in the art of living, was the aim alike of painter, draughtsman, or engraver of each and every artist who could contribute by his skill to the perfec tion of the tout ensemble. It is an art unparalleled at any epoch, and it is not an Overstatement to say that there exist no prints more decorative than those of the French School of the Eighteenth Century. In England, until recent years, these pic tures have been less appreciated than they deserve; in America (save for afew enlight ened amateurs), they have been known hardly at all. Such examples as have been offered in this country have been, but too often, of a pronouncedly gallant charac ter, better suited to the portfolio of the collector than to the decoration of the home;yet many, the majority, of the engravings of this School are not only altogether delightful, but are free from any taint of immorality. In the present exhibition there are shown examples of the best painters of that period, interpreted by many of the ablest and most esteemed engravers of the Eighteenth Century in France.

This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of collecting is a topic of central importance to many academic disciplines, and shows no sign of abating in popularity. As such, scholars will welcome this collection of essays by internationally recognised experts that gathers together for the first time varied and stimulating perspectives on the nineteenth-century collector and art market for French eighteenth-century art, and ultimately the formation of collections that form part of such august institutions as the Louvre and the National Gallery in London. The book is the culmination of a successful conference organised jointly between the Wallace Collection and the Louvre, on the occasion of the acclaimed exhibition Masterpieces from the Louvre: The Collection of Louis La Caze. Exploring themes relating to collectors, critics, markets and museums from France, England and Germany, the volume will appeal to academics and students alike, and become essential reading on any course that deals with the history of collecting, the history of taste and the nineteenth-century craze for the perceived douceur de vivre of eighteenth-century France. It also provides valuable insight into the history of the art markets and the formation of museums.

Book excerpt: In a garden glade before a grand fountain, surrounded by a musical party, an elegant woman in a lustrous white gown dances as part of a foursome, raising her eyes to the viewer as if extending an invitation to the dance. This is the enticing scene in the J. Paul Getty Museum's painting "Dance before a Fountain" by Nicolas Lancret (1690-1743), an excellent example of the fete galante, a genre that was created and reached the peak of its popularity in France during the first half of the eighteenth century. This monograph seeks to familiarize American audiences with Lancret, a master of this genre, who was a revered painter in his own time, rivalling his contemporaries Antoine Watteau and Francois Boucher, and a favourite of crowned heads across Europe. Mary Tavener Holmes's engrossing text uses this painting as a springboard to reveal a remarkable amount about the painter, his mode of painting, Paris at the time this work was made, eighteenth-century dance, and the world of art patronage and collecting in France and elsewhere in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Lavishly illustrated with comparative paintings by artists such as Watteau, Boucher, Peter Paul Rubens, Jean-Francois De Troy, Jean-Baptiste Oudry, and Hubert Robert, this fascinating peek into a bygone Parisian era is a treat for the eyes and the intellect alike.
