Résumé

Originally published in French in 2000 by Editions Mengès (with the title L'Art de Paris), this massive volume (10.75x12.5") provides the history of art and architecture in the city of Paris from Roman times to the present. The text gives the reader a thorough grounding in the development of art and architecture, aesthetic ideas, the impact of patronage, the lives and careers of significant artists and architects, and related issues in history and politics, in the city of Paris. Most dazzling are the book's many color plates, which are generous in size (many spread over two pages) and copious. A list of short artist's biographies is included. Pérouse de Montclos is a French art historian with a specialization in the French Renaissance and Baroque. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
