French Architectural and Ornamental Styles
Mary L Myers
This catalogue of eighteenth-century French drawings selected from The Metropolitan Museum of Arts collection testifies to the peerless efforts on the part of artists and craftsmen of Frances Age of Enlightenment to invest utilitarian objects with refinement and beauty. Many different types of drawings illustrate how wide-ranging these aesthetic concerns were. Architectural subjects include designs for townhouse exteriors and interiors, including decorative ornament pavilions stage sets temporary structures for court and civic festivities and an entry for the Prix de Rome architectural competition.
