Pierre-Paul Prud'hon
This volume accompanies the first American retrospective of the work of Pierre-Paul Prud'hon (1758-1823), a renowned French court painter and draftsman. A contemporary of Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825), Prud'hon won acclaim during the years spanning the French Revolution, the Empire, and the Restoration for his graceful paintings of allegorical and mythological subjects and for his handsome portraits. Here, 60 paintings and 100 works on paper are reproduced and illuminated by individual commentaries.
Drawing an Elusive Line
Moreover, the book explores Prud'hon's prescient comprehension of a dawning art market among the newly powerful middle class while tracing the sources of his more traditional imperial patronage. In surveying the breadth of Prud'hon's graphic output, Drawing an Elusive Line includes more than 150 drawings by the artist, some little known or previously unpublished."--Jacket.

Prud'hon: 68 Drawings
Pierre-Paul Prud'hon (1758 – 1823) was a French Romantic painter and draughtsman best known for his allegorical paintings and portraits. Prud'hon's artistic style contrasted starkly with the dominant version of Neoclassicism under Jacques-Louis David. His paintings were based on classical texts and ancient prototypes, but his dreaminess and melancholy were more akin to Romanticism. Prud'hon's drawings, often black chalk on blue paper, were not widely admired in his lifetime. Other artists during his time used these combined materials to study the figure, but Prud'hon took the form to new heights throughout his career. Although sidelined in his life, Prud'hon's insights in drawing would beckon future generations with their enigmatic testimony to sublime beauty. His technique evolved into a beautiful style that attracted many fans up to present day.
