"Painting in eighteenth century France was centered on the Acad©♭mie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in Paris, where the drawing of the male human figure was at the core of the curriculum. Only after mastering the copying of drawings and engravings, and then casts of antique sculptures, would the student be allowed to progress to drawing the nude figure in the life class. Made by the finest artists of the time, competing to show off their virtuosity, these 'academies', as they were known, are essential to the history of French art. Accompanying an exhibition at the Wallace Collection, this publication includes remarkable drawings by Rigaud, Boucher, Nattier, Pierre, Carle van Loo, Gros and Jean-Baptiste Isabey. All the drawings have been generously lent by the ©9cole nationale sup©♭rieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris."--Page 4 de la couverture.
