This book includes a rich and fascinating consideration of the
golden age of French printmaking. Once considered the golden age of
French printmaking, Louis XIV's reign saw Paris become a powerhouse
of print production. During this time, the king aimed to make fine
and decorative arts into signs of French taste and skill and, by
extension, into markers of his imperialist glory. Prints were ideal
for achieving these goals; reproducible and transportable, they
fueled the sophisticated propaganda machine circulating images of
Louis as both a man of war and a man of culture. This richly
illustrated catalogue features more than one hundred prints from
the Getty Research Institute and the Bibliotheque nationale de
France in Paris, whose print collection Louis XIV established in
1667. An esteemed international group of contributors investigates
the ways that cultural policies affected printmaking; explains what
constitutes a print; describes how one became a printmaker; studies
how prints were collected; and considers their reception in the
ensuing centuries.A Kingdom of Images is published to coincide with
an exhibition on view at the Getty Research Institute from June 18
through September 6, 2015, and at the Bibliotheque nationale de
France in Paris from November 2, 2015, through January 31, 2016.
