Examining Boilly and his art, deemed by many to be a significant painter of everyday life in Napoleonic France, this study argues that his paintings should be read not just for their documentary detail, but also for their wider cultural significance - showing social and sexual tensions of the era.

Great Artist,
By
This review is from: The Art of Louis-Leopold Boilly: Modern Life in Napoleonic France (Hardcover)
This book is a large, heavy book filled with many color renditions of art, and some black and white pictures also. There is a lot of information and a large index. This is not my favorite type of art, but the book shows a very good visual of what like was like in Napoleonic France.
