Nicolas-Antoine TAUNAY 1755-1830

Description

LEBRUN Jouve (Claudine) [Preface by Pedro Corrêa do Lago. ]
Nicolas-Antoine Taunay (1755-1830)

Arthena. Deauville, 2003, Publisher’s binding in full red cloth cardboard under illustrated dust jacket, in-4°, 33 x 25 cm., 448 pages with 513 illustrations including 76 in color. 

“The work highlights the career of an eclectic painter, who, from the Ancien Régime to the Restoration, knew how to initiate the aesthetic upheavals of the 19th century. Still too often relegated to the category of second-rate painters, genre painters from the end of the 18th century rarely have their place in the art history of this period. A monograph by one of its most interesting representatives, Nicolas-Antoine Taunay, fills a gap, while providing in-depth knowledge of a fertile artist who worked for the king, the Emperor, the court of Brazil, as much as for publishers and the curious of his time.  »
