Pastels in the Musée du Louvre: 17th and 18th Centuries
Autor Xavier Salmonen Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 sep 2018
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.
