THE CONVERSATION PIECE: SCENES OF FASHIONABLE LIFE

by Desmond Shawe-Taylor

Published by Royal Collection Enterprises Ltd. 1st. 2009

Fine condition. Large format. Pictorial card wraps. With 171 illustrations, 157 in colour. An intriguing contradiction - the high-life group, but caught informally, off-guard. This book accompanies the first exhibition on this subject for over 30 years, presenting early Dutch and Flemish genre paintings against their successors in the informal portraiture of Stubbs and Hogarth, as well as iconic works by Zoffany.
