Summary
Even for someone like me who is not very familiar with art, there were many painters whose names I had at least heard of at one time or another.
The 18th and 19th centuries were also the most spectacular period of French art.
It is perhaps no exaggeration to say that this period is what makes France, and Paris in particular, so appealing.
Thank you again for reading to the end of this issue.
