Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Musée du Louvre boasts an exceptional collection of 17th- and 18th-century European pastels. Due to their fragility, there have been scant opportunities to view and learn from these spectacular artworks. This in-depth examination of the collection, reproduced here for the first time in color, delves into their history and how they were created. Produced primarily during the reigns of Louis XV and Louis XVI, the works--whose beautiful delicacy has been likened to the powder covering the wings of a butterfly--offer insights into society during the period of the Enlightenment. Featured artists include Rosalba Carriera, Maurice Quentin de La Tour, Jean-Baptiste Perronneau, Jean Étienne Liotard, Jean-Marc Nattier, and Élisabeth Louise Vigee Le Brun, as well as lesser-known masters such as Marie-Suzanne Giroust, Adélaïde Labille-Guirard, Joseph Bose, and Joseph Ducreux.

Download or read book Delacroix Pastels written by Lee Johnson and published by George Braziller Publishers. This book was released on 1995 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gathers together all the extant pastels of Eugene Delacroix (1798-1862), the leader of the French Romantic movement in painting, the greatest colorist and the most versatile master of the first half of the nineteenth century. These beautiful pastels, housed in collections from London to Los Angeles to Cairo, are rarely exhibited due to their fragility. Published here as a group for the first time in full color, they provide sheer visual delight as well as enormous insight into Delacroix's endlessly inventive working methods. In his comprehensive introduction, Lee Johnson discusses Delacroix's interest in the medium of pastel and its place in his oeuvre as a whole, from the first reference to the technique in one of his school exercise books through his last known pastel, a finely wrought, signed version of one of his favorite compositions, "The Education of Achilles", which he presented to George Sand in 1862. Professor Johnson then treats the pastels in groups, such as studies for paintings, scenes from literature and mythology, North African scenes, and landscapes, flowers, and sky studies; in each case, he includes a full description and provenance of the work.

Download or read book Vig e Le Brun written by Joseph Baillio and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2016-02-15 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun (1755–1842) was one of the finest eighteenth-century french painters and among the most important women artists of all time. Celebrated for her expressive portraits of French royalty and aristocracy, and especially of her patron Marie Antoinette, Vigée Le Brun exemplified success and resourcefulness in an age when women were rarely allowed either. Because of her close association with the queen Vigée Le Brun was forced to flee France during the French Revolution. For twelve years she traveled throughout Europe, painting noble sitters in the courts of Naples, Russia, Austria, and Prussia. She returned to France in 1802, under the reign of Emperor Napoleon I, where her creativity continued unabated. This handsome volume details Vigée Le Brun's story, portraying a talented artist who nimbly negotiated a shifting political and geographic landscape. Essays by international scholars address the ease with which this self-taught artist worked with monarchs, the nobility, court officials and luminaries of arts and letters, many of whom attended her famous salons. The position of women artists in Europe and at the Salons of the period is also explored, as are the challenges faced by Vigée Le Brun during her exile. The ninety paintings and pastels included in this volume attest to Vigée Le Brun's superb sense of color and expression. They include exquisite depictions of counts and countesses, princes and princesses alongside mothers and children, including the artist herself and her beloved daughter, Julie. A chronology of the life of Vigée Le Brun and a map of her travels accompany the text, elucidating the peregrinations of this remarkable, independent painter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le musée du Louvre conserve la plus importante collection en France de pastels européens des xviie et xviiie siècles. Peintes pour l'essentiel sous les règnes de Louis XV et de Louis XVI, ces oeuvres d'une extrême fragilité, puisque créées au moyen d'une poussière colorée que l'on a souvent comparée à celle couvrant les ailes de papillon, permettent de rencontrer la société du siècle des Lumières et de mesurer le génie de ses artistes les plus célèbres : Rosalba Carriera, Maurice Quentin de La Tour, Jean-Baptiste Siméon Chardin, Jean-Baptiste Perronneau, Jean Etienne Liotard, Jean-Marc Nattier ou encore Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, mais aussi de maîtres moins connus comme Marie-Suzanne Giroust, Adélaïde Labille-Guiard, Joseph Boze ou Joseph Ducreux. Avec plus de cent soixante numéros, le catalogue raisonné de la collection invite à mieux connaître l'histoire de cette technique et donne à voir l'ensemble des oeuvres conservées au Louvre, certaines depuis la fin du xviiie siècle, en les étudiant de manière approfondie, en dévoilant une part des secrets de leur histoire et de leur exécution, et en les reproduisant toutes pour la première fois en couleurs. Afin d'accompagner la parution de l'ouvrage et de révéler au public à titre exceptionnel cet ensemble habituellement conservé à l'abri de la lumière, une exposition présentera au coeur du Louvre l'essentiel de la collection de juin à septembre 2018.
