The National Gallery’s collection encompasses the neoclassicism of Jacques-Louis David as well as the naturalism of the Barbizon painters. The works of Jean-August-Dominique Ingres, such as the Gallery’s famous portrait of Madame Moitessier, are precursors to the classical style that dominated later in the century. Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot’s verdant landscapes, Honoré Daumier’s political satires, and Jean-François Millet’s realism are also included in this richly illustrated volume.
