Discover *Le trait en majesté,*, the first catalogue raisonné of 17th-century French drawings from the Department of Graphic Arts at the Musée Fabre in Montpellier. This exceptional publication from Éditions Somogy (2011, ISBN 9782757204177) presents all 183 works, including many previously unpublished pieces, from Poussin to Le Brun, by way of Puget, Le Sueur, and Philippe de Champaigne. At the heart of the debate between line and color, drawing asserts itself as the pure expression of French classicism during the Grand Siècle.
The result of extensive research conducted with leading specialists, this 280-page book in French, with a soft cover (very good condition, minor wear), offers a fresh perspective on this precious collection and reveals the crucial role of drawing in 17th-century French art. An essential book for art history enthusiasts, collectors, and those passionate about the Classical period.
