1793-1843 - Ein Lexikon zur Ausbildung deutscher Maler in der französischen Hauptstadt. Bd. I: 1793-1843

From 1800 onward young artists from the German-speaking world flocked to the Paris studios of Jacques-Louis David, Paul Delaroche and Thomas Couture. The encyclopedia's individual articles make available previously unknown data and facts and provide new insights into the importance of Paris as place of artist's training, the career of several generations of painters and the transnational production of art in the 19th century.
