Boilly

In a long career that spanned the French Revolution, the rise and fall of Napoleon, and the Bourbon Restoration, Louis-Léopold Boilly created innovative and daring paintings in the midst of the most turbulent times. Bringing together two dozen of Boilly's works - the majority of which have never before been published - this handsome volume includes portraiture, scenes of seduction and groundbreaking representations of raucous Parisian street life.
