The impressive collection of 18th-century French paintings at the National Gallery, London, includes important works by Boucher, Chardin, David, Fragonard, Watteau, and many others. This volume presents over seventy detailed and extensively illustrated entries that expand our understanding of these paintings. Comprehensive research uncovers new information on provenance and on the lives of identified portrait sitters. Humphrey Wine explains the social and political contexts of many of the paintings, and an introductory essay looks at the attitude of 18th-century Britons to the French, as well as the market for 18th-century French paintings then in London salerooms.

Beginning at the Grand Palais in Paris, the exhibition travels to the Kunstmuseum im Ehrenhof in Dusseldorf, the Royal Academy of Arts in London, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
