In the seventeenth century during the reigns of Louis XIII and
Louis XIV, French painting had a magnificent flowering. From the
poetic history painting of Poussin, the landscapes of Claude
Lorrain and the portraits of Philippe de Champaigne to the
celebratory art of Le Brun at the court of Louis XIV at Versailles,
this was an extraordinary period in French art. This book
revealingly demonstrates how art and the state were linked through
symbolism. Written by one of the few authorities on the subject
outside the French-speaking world, and generously illustrated
throughout with a rich variety of paintings, it will enrich our
response to these glorious works of art by exposing layers of
meaning that have been obscured or forgotten.
