Gouthi re became gilder to Louis XV in 1767, and is credited with inventing a new type of gilding that left a matte finish--\u003ci\u003edorure au mat\u003c\/i\u003e--one of the hallmarks of his work. Although incredibly successful in his day, Gouthi re died in relative obscurity and poverty; unlike some of his contemporaries his works never regained popularity after the French Revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe inclusion of detailed entries and plates of forty-nine works positively attributed to Gouthi re, five essays by leading experts that examine Gouthi re's life, career, clientele, and gilding techniques, as well as examples of his work from American, Polish, Portuguese, French, and British collections, ensure that this beautiful volume is an invaluable new resource on Gouthi re. The only other volume on this master was published in 1912, and is now long out of print.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charlotte Vignon, Christian Baulez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1907804617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781907804618\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Giles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.30h x 9.70w x 1.50d","brand":"Charlotte Vignon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43939140763903,"sku":"9781907804618","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5e654d3d-06a2-494c-b3bb-63ee2f18fad2.jpg?v=1681439733","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pierre-gouthire-charlotte-vignon-9781907804618","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
