About this title

From Library Journal:

From the lofty institutionsthe Louvre and Ecole des Beaux Artsto the alleys and byways of Montmartre and Montparnasse, Milner describes the Parisian 19th-century art world. He considers salon stars and hopefuls, expositions, public monuments, painters painting other painters, and neighborhood attractions and distractions. The well-informed text combines a tour guide approach with historical narrative using quoted source material. There is some similarity of intent to Philippe Julian's Montmartre (1977), though this work was oriented more to personality and intimate description. Color plates include city scenes by Tissot, Jean Beraud, Caillebotte, and John Singer Sargent. While attractive, this book will be of interest mostly to students and scholars. Hara Seltzer, NYPL
