Accompanying an exhibition which moved from the Louvre to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, in February 1998, this is a study of the work of the French Neo-classical sculptor, Augustin Pajou (1730-1809). His sculpture is discussed and illustrated in depth, and a detailed picture is provided of the artistic, courtly and aristocratic milieu in which he was active. This examination of the 18th-century French intellectual world concentrates on the beginnings of Neo-classicism and explores the philosophical and scientific underpinnings of the Enlightenment. The book is therefore intended not only for art historians, but also those interested in social and cultural history.

Seller's Description:
As New. Grey wraps. 432 pp. 61 color, 366 bw plates. French flaps. This publication is the first major study of the French Neoclassical sculptor Augustin Pajou (1730-1809) in almost a century, and it is the only work about him in English. Here the artist's work is discussed and illustrated in depth, and the artistic, courtly, and aristocratic circles in which he worked are considered in detail. This examination concentrates on the beginnings of Neoclassicism and explores the philosophical and scientific underpinnings of the Enlightenment, in which Pajou played an important part. This publication, which accompanies a major exhibition at the Musee du Louvre, Paris, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, presents to both the scholar and the general reader a great artist who has at last received his due. The volume is lavishly illustrated and contains a detailed chronology, a short history of the artist's critical reputation, an exhaustive bibliography, and a complete index.
