The only complete catalogue of French paintings of the period in the Ashmolean Museum,
this comprehensive and scholarly study explores their rich collection of nineteenth-century
French art. Continuing a convention set by earlier Ashmolean catalogues that mirrors
the concept of the long nineteenth century, the book defines nineteenth-century French
artists as those born between 1775 and 1875. Stretching into the twentieth century,
it covers a fascinating range of paintings including works by Louis-Leopold Boilly,
Camille, Lucien, and Félix Pissarro, Henri Fantin-Latour, Edouard Manet, Pierre-Auguste
Renoir, Paul Cézanne, Claude Monet, and Henri Matisse.0The catalogue was compiled
by the late distinguished art historian Jon Whiteley. In each entry, Whiteley draws
upon his encyclopaedic knowledge of French art and the Ashmolean holdings. Provenance,
literature, and exhibition history are recorded as well as extensive technical notes
and information on frames. The entries on each work are accompanied by new, high-quality
photography and comparative images, resulting in a complete and thorough documentation
of this important part of the Ashmolean collection of Western art, providing an informative
contribution to existing scholarship
