Item Number: 112413 Title: WATTEAU : The Drawings Author: Prat, Louis-Antoine ; Pierre Rosenberg Price: Not Available ISBN: 9781905711703 Description: London: Royal Academy of the Arts, 2011. 26cm., hardcover, 198pp., 88 color illus. Exhibition catalogue. Publisher's summary : Antoine Watteau (1684–1721) produced some of the most seductive drawings in Western art. This book, published to accompany an exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, reproduces his finest examples, revealing the delicacy and freedom of execution that so impressed early commentators and had such a profound effect on subsequent generations of artists, notably François Boucher and Jean-Honoré Fragonard. Well-known art historians Pierre Rosenberg and Louis-Antoine Prat examine these masterly studies, focusing on the artist's development as a draftsman, the techniques that he perfected, and the fascinating role that drawing played in his work. The illustrations, which include recently discovered works, are superbly reproduced. We regret to inform you that this title is no longer available. P.O.
