French Paintings of the 19th Century Before Impressionism

The National Gallery's collection encompasses the neoclassicism of Jacques-Louis David as well as the naturalism of the Barbizon painters. The works of Jean-August-Dominique Ingres, such as the Gallery's famous portrait of "Madame Moitessier," are precursors to the classical style that dominated later in the century. Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot's verdant landscapes, Honore Daumier's political satires, and Jean-Francois Millet's realism are also included in this richly illustrated volume.Eitner, Lorenz is the author of 'French Paintings of the 19th Century Before Impressionism' with ISBN 9780894682278 and ISBN 089468227X.
