Description In a long career that spanned the French Revolution, the rise and fall of Napoleon, and the Bourbon Restoration, Louis-L opold Boilly (1761-1845) 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.
