description: This catalogue of 16th-century French drawings from the collections of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris, bears witness to a great period in the history of drawing. The works reflect a crucial century in the history of French art, when lavish court patronage and the presence of innovative Italian masters precipitated revolutionary changes not only in the style and subject matter of French art, but in that of European art as a whole. So much has been lost from this period that its artistic achievement is little known outside France; thus this richly illustrated catalogue makes possible an opportunity to explore and better appreciate this period of French history and the role of drawings within it. -Harvard University Art Museum
