The Judgement of Paris by 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.
Ross King is the author of Brunelleschi's Dome, Michelangelo & the Pope's Ceiling (both New York Times bestsellers), and the novels Ex-Libris and Domino. He lives near Oxford.
