Judgement of Paris
Author(s): Ross King
In 1863, the French painter, Ernest Meissonier was one of the most famous artists in the world. Manet, on the other hand, was struggling in obscurity. Taking the parallel careers of Meissonier and Manet, this book uses them as a lens for their times. It shows that their paintings was not just about Art, it was about how to see the world.
