Profusely illustrated. *** "Once considered the golden age of French printmaking, Louis XIV's reign saw Paris become a powerhouse of print production. During this time, the king aimed to make fine and decorative arts into signs of French taste and skill and, by extension, into markers of his imperialist glory. Prints were ideal for achieving these goals; reproducible and transportable, they fueled the sophisticated propaganda machine circulating images of Louis as both a man of war and a man of culture. This richly illustrated catalogue features more than one hundred prints from the Getty Research Institute and the Bibliothe`que nationale de France in Paris, whose print collection Louis XIV established in 1667. An esteemed international group of contributors investigates the ways that cultural policies affected printmaking; explains what constitutes a print; describes how one became a printmaker; studies how prints were collected; and considers their reception in the ensuing centuries." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: The arts in the service of the king's glory, by Thomas W. Gaehtgens; Printmaking under Louis XIV, by Maxime Preaud; What is a print? The fabrication of images, by Vanessa Selbach; What is a printmaker?, by Remi Mathis; Publishers, sellers, and the market, by Peter Fuhring; Collectors and collecting prints, by Veronique Meyer; On the critical fortune of Girard Audran and Gerard Edelinck, by Louis Marchesano; Catalog.
