Book excerpt: The "Autumn of Watteau" is one of four hauntingly beautiful paintings known as "The Four Seasons" by Antoine Watteau, one of the greatest painters of eighteenth-century France. Of the four paintings which originally hung in the opulent Parisian mansion of Pierre Crozat, only one is known to have survived: the painting of Ceres, goddess of summer, now in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The Autumn of Watteau is the story of one of these lost paintings and of the young woman whose research into its origins leads her to an ancient love story - and through a romance of her own. Moving from Regency Paris to New Orleans in the late twentieth century, the quest for this lost masterpiece is a timeless story of love and loss.

Download or read book From Drawing to Painting written by Pierre Rosenberg and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unique perspectives from an acclaimed art historian on the relationship between drawing and painting From Drawing to Painting interweaves biographical information about five renowned French artists—Nicolas Poussin, Antoine Watteau, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Jacques-Louis David, and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres—with a fascinating look at dozens of their drawings and the links that they have to their paintings. This book explores drawing as a site of reflection, the space between the idea of a painted image and its realization on canvas. How, why, and for whom did these artists draw? What value did they place on their drawings? How did their drawings get handed down to us? In what way do they enable us better to understand the artists’ intentions, their creative processes, and to penetrate their worlds? Pierre Rosenberg determines that each artist approached drawing in a distinctive way, reflecting his individual training, work habits, and personal ambitions. For example, Poussin viewed his drawings simply as working documents, Watteau preferred his drawings to his paintings, and Fragonard made a lucrative business selling his graphic work. For David and Ingres, drawing had a considerable pedagogical function, whether in copying the great works of their predecessors or in sharpening their own techniques. From Drawing to Painting Offers an unprecedented view of the artistic process, and makes an important and beautiful addition to any art library.
