Description
The Orléans Collection presents a remarkable gathering of art from the private collection of Philippe II, Duke of Orléans. This volume brings together nearly forty works, including paintings, books, engravings, and portraits, to tell the story of its formation and significance. The book explores the importance of the collection in the duke's lifetime, the art market in early eighteenth-century Paris, and its display in public and private spaces. It also examines the collection's widespread fame and its impact on visitors and contemporary artists and collectors in Paris. Featuring contributions from an international array of leading scholars, this volume is a major contribution to art historical scholarship and offers new insights into one of the greatest private collections of Western art ever assembled.
