Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. Lorrain, Watteau, Poussin, Rigaud, Leczinska, Vanloo, Lancret (illustratore). "The Court Painters of France", a monograph by William A. Coffin, an author and artist, was published in 1914 by The Mentor Department of Fine Arts as Serial No. 57. This essay was then bound in a large collection of disparate articles similar to a Sammelband (a collection of articles on various, non-related subjects). The essay, a stand-alone monograph, was cleanly disbound. It is illustrated with 17 black-and-white illustrations, as well as 6 sepia gravures; the article is not a definitive monograph, because of its brevity, but it touches on six important European painters that are, today, avidly collected. The tone is genial and the essay is informative. There are 17 monochrome pictures through the text and six full page sepia gravures. The pictures through the text are discussed, and each plate illustration is given a full page explanation. The six full sized sepia gravures are as follows : "Parnassus" by Claude Lorrain; "The French Comedy" by Antoine Watteau; "The Shepherds of Arcadia" by Nicolas Poussin; "Portrait of Louis XIV" by Hyacinthe Rigaud; "Portrait of Marie Leczinska" by Charles A. Vanloo; "The Music Lesson" by Nicolas Lancret. SERIAL : Mentor Department of Fine Arts Monographs (Serial # 57) TITLE : The Court Painters of France AUTHOR : William A.
