Some are battlegrounds where hopes are dashed and original concepts fail dismally in their execution. A few artists became celebrities and flaunted their success by furnishing huge studios with exotic objects, while others lived in a haze of opium in squalid tenements in Montmartre. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Spanning 500 years of Western art history from 1400 to 1900, and accompanied by glorious images, Caroline Chapman describes the skilful techniques employed in a Renaissance workshop; Michelangelo's agony and ecstasy while painting the Sistine Chapel; the murky world of the artist's model; the looting by Napoleon of Veronese's masterpiece; Van Gogh's wretched first studio; how G駻icault painted his Raft of the Medusa; the way Rodin worked in his plaster-spattered environment and the ateliers of the Impressionists in Paris.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Caroline Chapman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911397680\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911397687\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unicorn Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/29\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 8.20w x 1.30d","brand":"Caroline Chapman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44717882966271,"sku":"9781911397687","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d65b1d13-2df6-4dc9-8a8c-333c5964448e.jpg?v=1705689741","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-place-apart-caroline-chapman-9781911397687","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
