Between popular masterpieces and rather little known artists, this book
unfolds nine centuries of the history of French painting. This book
contains more than 450 works showing medieval frescoes, Gothic
illuminations, Renaissance portraits, neoclassical or romantic
paintings, but also works of academic art. Cabanel or Gérôme have their
place here, just like Nicolas Poussin, Boucher, Ingres, or Delacroix.
