The history of collecting is a topic of central importance to many
academic disciplines, and shows no sign of abating in popularity.
As such, scholars will welcome this collection of essays by
internationally recognised experts that gathers together for the
first time varied and stimulating perspectives on the
nineteenth-century collector and art market for French
eighteenth-century art, and ultimately the formation of collections
that form part of such august institutions as the Louvre and the
National Gallery in London. The book is the culmination of a
successful conference organised jointly between the Wallace
Collection and the Louvre, on the occasion of the acclaimed
exhibition Masterpieces from the Louvre: The Collection of Louis La
Caze. Exploring themes relating to collectors, critics, markets and
museums from France, England and Germany, the volume will appeal to
academics and students alike, and become essential reading on any
course that deals with the history of collecting, the history of
taste and the nineteenth-century craze for the perceived douceur de
vivre of eighteenth-century France. It also provides valuable
insight into the history of the art markets and the formation of
museums.
