Valentin de Boulogne
Following Caravaggio's death in 1610, the French artist Valentin de Boulogne (1591-1632) emerged as one of the great champions of naturalistic painting. The eminent art historian Roberto Longhi honored him as "the most energetic and passionate of Caravaggio's naturalist followers." In Rome, Valentin—who loved the tavern as much as the painter's pallette—fell in with a rowdy confederation of artists but eventually received commissions from some of the city's most prominent patrons.

Signac, 1863-1935
This book, the catalogue of the first retrospective of the work of the French Neoimpressionist artist Paul Signac to be held in nearly forty years, accompanies the 2001 exhibition organised by the Reunion des Musees Nationaux/Musee d'Orsay, Paris, the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. This long overdue tribute to Signac's power of expression and artistic influence features some two hundred paintings, drawings, watercolours, and prints from public and private collections worldwide. Fully illustrated in colour and discussed in individual entries, these works offer an unprecedented overview of Signac's fifty-year career. Signac's artistic development began with the luminous plein air paintings he made in the early 1880s which reveal the lessons he absorbed from Monet, Guillaumin, and other leading Impressionists.

In the scintillating works of his maturity the rigours of Pointillism gave way to richly patterned, decorative colour surfaces. In a series of essays the exhibition's curators disc

Portraits & autoportraits d'artistes au XVIIIe siècle
Si les noms et les accomplissements d'artistes illustres comme Hyacinthe Rigaud, Nicolas de Largillierre, Pierre Drevet, François Boucher, Jean-Marc Nattier, Jean-Baptiste Greuze, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Carte et Jean-Baptiste Van Loo, Alexandre Roslin, Joseph Vernet, Jean-Antoine Houdon, Jean-Baptiste Pigalle ou Jean-Antoine Watteau sont connus et reconnus, leurs visages, le plus souvent, ne le sont pas. Pour la première fois dans un même ouvrage, les effigies de plus d'une centaine de maîtres français (et étrangers ayant exercé en France) de la peinture, de la sculpture et de la gravure du XVIIIe siècle sont réunies en une vaste galerie de portraits. Tout en retraçant l'histoire de la représentation du visage humain dans l'art au siècle des Lumières, l'auteur invite le lecteur à entrer plus avant dans l'intimité des artistes qui s'offrent au regard. Reflet d'une époque exubérante et raffinée, ces portraits et autoportraits restituent tout à la fois l'image de personnalités emblématiques du monde des arts et le charme vivace d'un siècle retrouvé
