This celebration of French art in California spans the period of the earliest New World voyages of French sea captains with their complement of classically trained artists, draftsmen, and scientists, to the Franco-American children of French Gold Rush artists, whose late nineteenth-century Impressionistic paintings forever mar- ried the artistic legacy of the two nations. This collection of 80 images, many of which appear in print for the first time, contains paintings, sketches, lithographs, and photographs that informed and intrigued the artistic and scientific worlds and ordinary people as well. Paired with the exquisite plates are biographical essays on twenty-eight of the artists. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 639L
