Alexandre Cabanel is the best representative of the Lart pompier and Napoleon IIIs preferred painter. His work displays originality and sincerity fixed with a deep sense of respect for the great art of the past. His drawing is excellent; expressive and informed by personal selection; knowledge and a quest for both natural and ideal beauty. His design is sophisticated and his color is pleasant; natural; and ornamental; as needed. His method varies from smooth naturalistic to virtuoso paint handling. He was an artist of truth; a positive and competent master of his art. He was elected regularly to the Salon jury and his pupils could be counted by the hundred at the Salons. Through them; Cabanel did more than any other of his generation to form the character of belle eacute;poque French painting.

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Images of BarbourvilleBy KimberlyThis book is truely flooded with Images. If you want a book to read keep looking; this book is a wonderful history of Barbourville done with wonderful old pictures of a small town. I bought this book because my Grandparents moved "to town" from Hales Creek. They ran a small old fashioned store on Carton Avenue; for most of my childhood. Grandma Mary Hale Hinkle died 5/22/05 at 98 and this book will forever help me to remember Barbourville. Hobbs 5 and dime and the AP and the IGA. I cant wait to show it to my Dad age 75. Buy it; youll be glad you did.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy CustomerVery interesting book.....but I would expect nothing less from Michael C.
