Seller's Description:
As New. Black cloth boards eith gold gilt lettering; teal and color illustrated dust jacker with white letting. 256 pp. Numerous bw illustrations, 87 color plates. "This lavishly illustrated catalogue presents a stunning array of the artist's still-life works, many of which have never before been reproduced in color. The authors of the book are distinguished scholars of eighteenth-century French art, and they provide a crucial new overview of Vallayer-Coster's art and career. Recently rediscovered paintings, including three royal portraits from the collection of Versailles and a hitherto unknown pastel of Marie-Antoinette, are published here for the first time. The test also incorporates new archival information, greatly expanding our understanding of the artist's stylistic evolution. The authors also draw on the most current research to examine Vallayer-Coster's relationship with the landscape painter Joseph Vernet: her grappling with the precedent established by her immediate predecessor, the still-life painter Jean-Simeon Chardin; the eighteenth-century collectors of her art; and her place in the larger context of eighteenth-century women painters and patrons. Also included is a groundbreaking conservation study that provides technical information crucial to the understanding of the art of Vallayer-Coster as well as eighteenth-century still-life painting as a whole."-dust jacket description.
