Synopsis:
Published to accompany an exhibition which opened at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York in 1998, this volume is the first major study of the French Neoclassical sculptor Augustin Pajou in almost a century and the only one in English. Little known outside his native land, here Pajou's work is discussed and illustrated in depth, and a detailed picture is provided of the artistic, courtly, and aristocratic mileu in which he was active. This fresh examination of the 18th-century French intellectual world concentrates on the beginnings of Neoclassicism and explores the philosophical and scientific underpinnings of the Enlightenment.
