Harvard professor Zerner focuses on one of the most dynamic and flamboyant periods in art history, the Renaissance in France. Renaissance Art in France explains how the school of Fontainebleau, in its exaggerated elegance and complex fantasies, combined French forms of medieval origin with the Italianate decorative style. It quickly came to represent a high point in the development of Mannerism and laid the groundwork for the invention of French Classicism. The volume showcases artists who excelled in the fine arts such as court portraitist François Clouet and sculptor Jean Goujon, as well as those working in decorative arts that also flourished during this period: tapestry, stained-glass windows, printmaking, and metalwork. With beautiful illustrations and an accessible text, it is all summed up here in one compact volume.

In the modern literature on Renaissance art and architecture, Paris has often been considered the Cinderella of the European capitals. The prestigious buildings that were erected soon after Franois I decided in 1528 to make Paris his residence have long since been lost. Thomson, however, restores this fascinating chapter of architectural history in his careful synthesis of documentary and technical sources.

Excerpt from The Architecture of the Renaissance in France, Vol. 1: A History of the Evolution of the Arts of Building, Decoration, and Garden Design Under Classical Influence From 1495 to 1830 In the matter of illustration it has been my aim to place before the reader in the first place, of course, photographs and modern drawings of buildings, now, or till recently standing, but also the vanished buildings and unexecuted projects which throw an equally strong light on the ideas which inspired the work of successive ages. That this must generally be done by reproducing the drawings of by-gone generations of designers, so variously different in character from those of our own day, is in itself a gain, since the graphic method of presentment adopted by a du Cerceau, or a Marot, a Neufforge or a Fontaine is one element in his conception of design, and should be taken into consideration in the study and appreciation of the style in which he worked. The subject of this history is so wide that it necessarily includes much matter of a controversial nature. This turns principally on the dates and authorship of buildings anterior to the seventeenth century, whose records are fragmentary or non-existent. The limits of these volumes have obliged me in many cases to assert facts or probabilities, without supporting such assertions by arguments or reference to authorities. Those who wish to investigate such matters further will, in most cases, find the points fully discussed in the serried pages of Geymiiller, who, if his conclusions occasionally appear to go beyond the point which his argument warrants, never fails to set forth with the utmost candour all the available evidence, together with the Opinions of other writers.
