Stories About Great Painters. From the Renaissance to the 19th Century
A la rencontre des peintres, de la Renaissance au XIXe siècle
by FRANÇOIS MARET
Description
Meet the painters behind some of the world’s masterpieces.
Guided by a character who is part art critic, part historian and part shrink, the reader takes a leap back in time to meet more than 50 of our great painters, from the Renaissance to the present day: Michelangelo, El Greco, Fragonard, David, Manet, Pissarro, Goya, Van Gogh, Munch, Gauguin, Cezanne, Klimt, Braque, Mondrian, Duchamp, and Dali.
All painters are placed in their historical context and artistic movement along with their major works (major works which don’t appear in the novel are accessible via QR codes given that the book only has 176 comic strips). Each artistic period opens with a timeline, and the mischievous guide is given free rein to shake up the painters about their practices and quirks.
