{"product_id":"pastels-in-the-muse-du-xavier-salmon-9780300238631","title":"Pastels in the Mus馥 Du Louvre: 17th and 18th Centuries","description":"The Mus馥 du Louvre boasts an exceptional collection of 17th- and 18th-century European pastels. Due to their fragility, there have been scant opportunities to view and learn from these spectacular artworks. This in-depth examination of the collection, reproduced here for the first time in color, delves into their history and how they were created. Produced primarily during the reigns of Louis XV and Louis XVI, the works--whose beautiful delicacy has been likened to the powder covering the wings of a butterfly--offer insights into society during the period of the Enlightenment. Featured artists include Rosalba Carriera, Maurice Quentin de La Tour, Jean-Baptiste Perronneau, Jean ﾉtienne Liotard, Jean-Marc Nattier, and ﾉlisabeth Louise Vigee Le Brun, as well as lesser-known masters such as Marie-Suzanne Giroust, Ad駘a?e Labille-Guirard, Joseph Bose, and Joseph Ducreux. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for Editions Hazan, Paris \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMus馥 du Louvre, Paris\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (06\/07\/18-09\/10\/18)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Xavier Salmon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300238630\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300238631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Editions Hazan, Paris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.40h x 9.90w x 1.10d","brand":"Xavier Salmon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44227509715199,"sku":"9780300238631","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38ab0cec-6737-4057-bb98-3ca5c4129c4d.jpg?v=1692809080","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pastels-in-the-muse-du-xavier-salmon-9780300238631","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
