(Two volumes in one. A study in the reform of Italian Pain...)
Two volumes in one. A study in the reform of Italian Painting around 1590. With 467 illustrations and 10 colour plates. This book, the first systematic study of Annibale Carracci's life and work, surveys the whole of the artist's activity and analyses the origin, development and significance of his achievements, viewing them against the background of the art and thought of the period. All known paintings and prints by the master are illustrated, as well as many of the drawings made in connection with them, in 346 black and white plates and ten colour plates, and all are exhaustively discussed in a catalogue raisonne. In addition, 121 text figures illustrate special aspects and the background of Annibale's art. There are also a bibliography and full indexes.

(Here is the definitive study of the great painter Antoine...)
Here is the definitive study of the great painter Antoine Watteau (1684-1721), best known for his exquisite fetes galantes--scenes of the pastoral pleasures of elegant society. Until now, critical interpretations of this remarkable artist have been shaped by essentially Romantic views. Donald Posner provides a reassessment of the life and work of Watteau; his account is enriched with reproductions of all of Watteau's paintings and major studies.
