Paintings in the Musee d'orsay

• Used Book in Good Condition

More than 800 treasures of 19th- and early 20th-century art are reproduced in this book, which is in the same style as the successful "Paintings in the Louvre". The author, an art historian, has selected and arranged the paintings, showing the breadth of the museum's collection. The Musee D'Orsay now includes the famous impressionists of the Jeu de Paume and the academic and realist paintings from the Louvre. This book also selects work from the museum's storerooms, which contain a wide selection of international paintings. The author is a professor at New York University's Institute of Fine Arts, and the author of many books including "Cubism and Twentieth Century Art", "Ingres" and "Modern Painting and the Northern Romantic Tradition".
