Book Description
Excerpt from La Peinture Française Au Xixe Siècle, Vol. 1 Count de Caylus in i74s, later Winkelmann and Quatre mere de Quincy, were among those who brought back into fashion a taste for Antiquity and the grande maniere in pain ting inspired by neo-greek sculpture. David was both their collaborator and their executor. As a man he served the Revo lutian with the zeal of a partisan, as a painter he considered it his duty to the state to teach only such principles as glorify the antique virtues, the fruits of reason and which repudiate the fetes galantes of the Eighteenth Century. Thanks to David, for years Beauty. Was limited in its inspiration to Archaeology, Athens, Greece, and the aged Horatii. In the same way we find Ingres, about ib4o, a prisoner of the traditions of the institute, applying, in the name of Phidias and Raphael, prin ciples fully as pernicious when employed by feeble collaborators. Forthough the Institute had Ingres, it also had Picot, Hersent, Blondel, just as it later had Ge'rome, in other words a rigid organism which only allowed pupils to have a certain sense of Art, and where the recipes of a hand-book on painting would enable the student to make a career in his profession rather express his personality.

Book Description
" Une seule fois, au cours de sa Longue carrière de critique et de professeur, en 1896, André Michel s’était donné la tâche de réunir, en un petit volume, modestement intitule Notes sur l’art moderne, un certain nombre d’articles parus ici et là. Quelle ample et brillante matière offrirait la réunion totale de ses articles épanchés au jour le jour, pendant plus de quarante ans, au Journal des Débats notamment! Mais ce serait sans doute trahir sa mémoire que de réaliser sans lui ce qu’il n’avait pas voulu faire lui-même, comme ce serait peut-être le desservir que de publier d’après des notes, si complètes et fidèles soient-elles, la matière de ses vingt-cinq années de cours, dont la substance seule devait passer dans ses chapitres de l’Histoire de l’Art."
