The Male Nude: Eighteenth-century Drawings From The Paris Academy
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Painting in 18th-century France was centered on the Acadmie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in Paris, where the drawing of the male human figure was at the core of the curriculum. Only after mastering the copying of drawings and engravings, and then casts of antique sculptures, would the student be allowed to progress to drawing the nude figure in the life class. The drawings produced there were so associated with the Academy that they came to be known as 'acadmies'. Accompanying a groundbreaking exhibition at the Wallace Collection, this publication includes remarkable drawings by Rigaud, Boucher, Nattier, Pierre, Carle van Loo, Gros and Jean-Baptiste Isabey. Condition: Good. Light marks and wear to cover and its edges. Inside pages in generally excellent condition - no tears, marks, folds, handwriting etc - but there is light yellowing to their edges.
