About this title

Synopsis

French Prints from the Age of the Musketeers focuses on printmaking in Paris during the second half of the 17th century. This adventuresome age, filled with military campaigns and political intrigue, is recaptured through 126 prints by such masters as Jacques Callot, Abraham Bosse, Jacques Bellange, and the circle of Simon Vouet. The essays, written by an international group of distinguished print scholars, cover such subjects as genre, current events, portraits, architecture and landscapes, religion, allegory, and ancient history and mythology.
