The National Gallery’s collection encompasses the neoclassicism of Jacques-Louis David as well as the naturalism of the Barbizon painters. The works of Jean-August-Dominique Ingres, such as the Gallery’s famous portrait of Madame Moitessier, are precursors to the classical style that dominated later in the century. Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot’s verdant landscapes, Honor茅 Daumier’s political satires, and Jean-Fran莽ois Millet’s realism are also included in this richly illustrated volume.
