Dark gray cloth, cream and illus. dust jacket, 280 pp. Considers well the life and work of French artist, writer, and diplomat Dominique Vivant Denon. "To make the acquaintance of Baron Dominique Vivant Denon is to recpature the artistocracy and the world of arts and letters at the turn of the nineteenth century in several European capitals. Professional courtier, amateur diplomat, Imperial Director of the Louvre and other Parisian museums, antiquary, artist, and writer, Vivant Denon was admired by Balzac, Sainte-Beuve, the Goncourt brothers, and Anatole France. Although his literary output is essentially confined to a single short novel and two descriptive journeys, each is something of a masterpiece." (dj).
