Superior copy, gift-quality condition, inside and out, no discernible wear to the brilliant pictorial covers. To celebrate the year of Impressionism in Normandy, the Thomas-Henry art museum in Cherbourg-Octeville has chosen to pay tribute to Jean-François Millet, the native son. Long before the Impressionists, whose horizons he opened up, Millet was the first champion of the Cotentin, of its wild and dazzling panoramas which are still offered to the walker today.Through around forty works, the book offers a true immersion in the artist's technique, through the variety of means of expression presented: from observation drawings made on site to the landscape recomposed from memory in the workshop, through engraving and an example of the virtuoso pastels of recent years," from the publisher. 59 [1] pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
