This is the first publication to focus exclusively on these extraordinary works. It illustrates all of C騷anne's mature paintings of rock formations, including scenes of the terrain of the forest of Fontainebleau, the Mediterranean coastal village of L'Estaque, and the area around Aix-en-Provence, alongside examples of his watercolors of these subjects. An introductory essay by John Elderfield assesses these paintings in terms of their character, development, and relationship to C騷anne's other works; their critical interpretations; and their geological and corporeal associations. Faya Causey's essay examines the Proven軋l context of C騷anne's rock and quarry paintings, as well as the status of geology in France during the second half of the 19th century. The catalogue section, introduced by Anna Swinbourne, chronicles the sites, presenting details of where specifically the paintings were made and of the features that they represent, together with technical aspects of particular works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Elderfield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300250487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300250480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Art Museum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.30h x 9.40w x 0.90d","brand":"John Elderfield","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43986444452095,"sku":"9780300250480","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_175a3153-3b90-409a-a7ef-bc25fe8a167f.jpg?v=1683283379","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/czanne-john-elderfield-9780300250480","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
