Francois-André Vincent, 1746-1816 Entre Fragonard Et David

RARE BOOK

François-André Vincent, husband of the portrait painter Adélaïde Labille-Guiard, is one of the most unknown figures in 17th-and-18th-century painting. Pupil of Vien, as David, considered as his rival, Vincent confronts himself to Fragonard in the first years of his career; a number of his youth paintings and drawings were for some time attributed to the Master.

This book by Jean-Pierre Cuzin includes the catalogue raisonné of paintings and drawings of this History and portrait painter, who was also a draughtsman and a caricaturist, and also a complete study of his life and career.
