From the successive french invasions of Italy to the declining years of the "Sun King" this volume surveys the architecture, painting and sculpture of two centuries in which france seized the lead in Europe and Paris replaced Rome as the artistic capital. The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in France were an epoch of spectacular creative activity, exemplified by the chateaux of the Loire valley, the work of Mansart, the palace of Versailles, the paintings of Poussin and Claude, and the sculpture of Coysevox which echo the political and cultural importance of France and Louis XIV. Blunt presents major artists and their principal works chronologically, provides an overview of the main projects of the period and of the artistic personalities behind them, and clearly sets the historical context. The achievement of the book lies in its capacity to lead the uninitiated reader through an historical labyrinth with commanding clarity. This new edition of one of the classics of the Pelican History of Art series has been revised and updated with colour illustrations and a new bibliography.
