This volume featuring the collection of the Musee Fabre spans three centuries and includes works by 55 of the greatest French painters including Nicolas Poussin, Jaques-Louis David, Eugene Delacroix, Edgar Degas, Alfred Sisley, Frederic Bazille, and Gustav Courbet. An exceptional array of iconic paintings covers all artistic movements from 1600 to 1900, including Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Realism, and Impressionism. The painters represented worked in every genre, from portraiture, religious and mythological subjects, and landscapes to still lifes. The volume provides a comprehensive overview of French art, following its evolution from the highly sophisticated and classical art of Poussin in the early 17th century to the complete rethinking of painting by Courbet at the threshold of Impressionism in the second half of the 19th century.

Olivier Zeder is deputy director of the Muse Fabre. Other contributors to the book include Sylvain Amic , Petra ten-Doesschate Chu , Hilliard Todd Goldfarb , Jo Hedley , Christopher Riopelle , and Pietre Rosenberg .
