One of the most imaginative and fascinating artists of
eighteenth-century France, Edme Bouchardon (1698-1762) was
instrumental in the transition from Rococo to Neoclassicism and in
the artistic rediscovery of classical antiquity. Much celebrated in
his time, Bouchardon created some of the most iconic images of the
age of Louis XV. His oeuvre demonstrates a remarkable variety of
themes (from copies after the antique to subjects of history and
mythology, portraiture, anatomical studies, ornament, fountains and
tombs), media (drawings, sculptures, medals, prints), and
techniques (chalk, plaster, wax, terracotta, marble, bronze). This
lavishly illustrated publication represents an unprecedented and
thorough survey on this major and unique artist from the Age of
Enlightenment, offering in-depth scholarship based on unpublished
material detailing the subtle relationship between, as well as the
relative autonomy of, the artist's two careers as a sculptor and a
draftsman.
