David, Delacroix, and Revolutionary France: Drawings from the Louvre Louis-Antoi

About the Item

David, Delacroix, and Revolutionary France: Drawings from the Louvre, by Louis-Antoine Prat, Jennifer Tonkovich, Esther Bell, Alison Hokanson, and Kori Lisa Yee Litt. Publisher Morgan Library & Museum, 2011. 1st Ed hardcover exhibition catalog for an exhibition September 23 through December 31, 2011. From the time of the French Revolution in 1789 through the reign of King Louis-Philippe and the establishment of the Second Empire in 1852, an incredible concentration of artistic talent brought its collective skill to bear on one of the most turbulent times in French history. This exhibition featured some of the greatest examples of works on paper of the period from Paris's famed Musée du Louvre. Included were eighty drawings by such noted artists as David, Prud'hon, Ingres, Géricault, Delacroix, and Corot. Rarely does the Louvre allow such a major group of drawings, with so many iconic works, to travel. The exhibition offered visitors a singular opportunity to experience the mastery of the era. The Morgan was the only venue for this important show. NPT Books, a division of Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.

    By J. Nusink
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Unique and original work of art about the history of Switzerland and France. This impressive and powerful work of art is definitely unique and interesting for many reasons. First of all, the style in which this charcoal drawing (with patches of watercolor) was made, is typical of the era and a joy to look at. Secondly, the posters of this era are rare and sought after, so to find an original drawing makes this antique extra desirable. Thirdly, the powerful male and female figure show a kind of determination that is often found in propaganda posters from this era, but the quality of the execution lifts it to another level. Fourthly, if you read about the French revolutionary...
