Theodore Chasseriau, 1819-1856 The Unknown Romantic

Theodore Chasseriau was one of the most sensual and intellectual painters of his time. A pupil and precocious disciple of Ingres, he also fell under the influence of Delacroix, and he left his mark on both the second generation of Romantic artists and their Symbolist successors. This beautiful book presents more than 250 of Chasseriau's paintings, drawings, and prints. The texts of the essays and entries, as well as the extensive chronology, focus on the artist's personality, his professional and social milieu and on the works themselves, thus providing an in-depth view of the state of the arts in France in the mid-nineteenth century.Guegan, Stephane is the author of 'Theodore Chasseriau, 1819-1856 The Unknown Romantic' with ISBN 9781588390677 and ISBN 1588390675.
