![]() ![]() ![]() The most interesting personality King reveals is that of Meisonnier, a painter, obscure until he began to play a role in King’s book, but a giant in French 19th century art. Expensive, I know, but I wanted to see more. My only quibble is with the dearth of coloured plates. Ross King does that in a very readable book. The painters of Impressionism had always interested me, so I was happy to find a writer who placed them in their world, and explained the influences that shaped their work. I’ve just finished reading Ross King’s The Judgment of Paris: The Revolutionary Decade That Gave the World Impressionism (2006). ![]()
