La peinture décorative dans le Journal-Manuel de Peintures – PLAFONDS

The ceiling holds a major place in interior decoration.  It can be done in a French style, in an Italian style, it can be a coffered ceiling or done in stucco.  The ceiling was sometimes treated so richly that it was considered to be the element of decoration par excellence.  This volume, the second in a series of books devoted to decorative painting, turns around this theme, with a choice of plates published in the Journal-Manuel de Peintures at a time when eclectisme, historicism, neoclassicism but also the search of a new style shared the tastes of an ever wider audience.
