Discoveries: Chardin

"This new book explores Chardin's life and works, the development of his style, and his impact on later artists. It brings together his most influential paintings and pastels, as well as little-known works. Pierre Rosenberg, director of the Louvre and an authority on Chardin, and Helene Prigent have created a book that is a celebration of one of France's treasures."--BOOK JACKET.
