Théodore Chassériau was one of the most sensual and intellectual painters of his time. A pupil and precocious disciple of Ingres, he also fell under the influence of Delacroix, and he left his mark on both the second generation of Romantic artists and their Symbolist successors. Although his works fuse Ingres's linear precision with the lush color and Romantic exoticism of Delacroix, they escape easy stylistic classification. His oeuvre includes Orientalist and religious paintings, scenes from Antiquity, and portraits, but he is best known for his ambitious decorative compositions for the churches of Paris and for the Cour des Comptes in the Palais d'Orsay. 
This beautiful book presents more than 250 of Chassériau's paintings, drawings, and prints. The texts of the essays and entries, as well as the extensive chronology, focus on the artist's personality, his professional and social milieu, and on the works themselves, thus providing an in-depth view of the state of the arts in France in the mid-nineteenth century. 
This lavishly illustrated book serves as the catalogue of the first retrospective of Chassériau's work since 1933, to be held at the Grand Palais, Paris (February 26-May 27, 2002), the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Strasbourg (June 9-September 21, 2002), and The Metropolitan Museum of Art (October 21, 2002-January 5, 2003).

Book Description\nCatalogue publié à l'occasion de l'exposition "Manet inventeur du Moderne" présentée au musée d'Orsay, à Paris, du 5 avril au 3 juillet 2011.\nFrom the Back Cover\nUnique évidemment, érotique et politique, très autobiographique, ironique souvent, et tourné en permanence vers l'espace public, l'art de Manet fut ludique aussi. Mettre en jeu, se mettre en danger, ramasser la mise si possible, les trois choses étaient vitales à ce grand ambitieux. L'ancien marin naviguait à vue et toujours en pleine mer. Nul repli, nulle chapelle, nulle dérobade. Manet eut moins peur de ses doutes que de l'échec et de la routine. S'enfermer dans une formule ou une spécialité eût été le pire des renoncements. Révolutionnaire sans doute, peintre d'histoire à sa façon, il fut surtout un peintre de salon, prêt à en découdre avec le jury et le public pour imposer le Moderne dans le grand art.

Delacroix: Peindre contre l'oubli-L'Enfer et l'atelier

L'ABCdaire de Courbet et le realisme

Ingres, described by Baudelaire as a painter of "profound sensual delights," has not always been acknowledged as such by the art world. Famous for his iconic paintings The Grand Odalisque and The Turkish Bath, Ingres was also an artist of great erotic intensity and raw sexuality. These facets of his oeuvre are explored here in depth and in detail. The sixty-five illustrations include drawings and sketches from the artist's personal notebooks, lush details from his paintings, and even a rare daguerreotype. Medieval engravings from the sixteenth century are reproduced alongside the sketches that they inspired, and studies for Ingres' famous paintings appear adjacent to the corresponding details. Stéphane Guégan unveils this unexplored aspect of the artist's works through the themes of a virile eros, temptation, seduction, voyeurism, close-ups, forbidden desires, saturation, and enigma. The volume includes a chronology of the artist's life and a selected bibliography. This handful of hidden treasures, shocking enough in their time to be banished from polite society, today rewards a thorough examination with a new and enlightening perspective on Ingres: the artist, the man of flesh and blood, the seducer.
