FRENCH INTERIORS OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTU(ISBN=9781856690188) pmlz 电子版 pdf docx 网盘 kindle azw3 下载

　　The eighteenth century was a period of great inventiveness and

originality in French decorative arts, and its crowning achievement

was the creation and decoration of the domestic interior. Styles

such as the Regency, rococo, neoclassical revival and "style

etrusque" transformed the appearance of the great houses of France

and were widely copied throughout Europe. Using the craftsmen and

skills originally brought into France from Italy and the Low

Countries to serve the Sun King, French aristocrats and financiers

created in their Paris Hotels and country chateaux interiors of an

unprecedented elegance and sophistication. The same can be said of

the works of art with which they furnished these rooms - decorated

furniture, gilt-bronzes, silver, the finest porcelain, of which

none was finer than Sevres, tapestries and carpets, and beautiful

silks. This book discusses the creation and contents of many such

interiors, including some that have never been photographed before.

Using contemporary inventories, letters and journals it brings to

life the tastes and preoccupations of their creators, both in their

public lives and more private moments. It also explores the wider

context of the different styles of decoration, the effect upon them

of changes in etiquette and social behaviour, and the effect they

had in turn upon the function and arrangement of rooms within the

French interior.

Index

The eighteenth century was a period of great inventiveness and originality in French decorative arts and interior decoration.

This book discusses in detail the creation and contents of the interiors of French aristocrats and financiers, including some that have never been photographed before. Using contemporary inventories, letters, and journals it brings to life the tastes and preoccupations of their creators - the Royal family, the aristocracy, the fashionable tourists and the nouveaux riches, as well as the dealers and craftsmen who worked for them, the artists, designers and architects. In addition, it explores the wider context of different styles of decoration, the effect upon them of changes in etiquette and social behaviour and the effect they had in turn upon the function and arrangement of rooms within the French interior.
