The first in-depth study of the most important collection - outside Paris - of Delaroche's paintings, offering the only concise introduction to the artist available.

Paul Delaroche was one of the most important French artists of the nineteenth century. His historical scenes, including The Princes in the Tower (1830) and The Execution of Lady Jane Grey (1833), drew huge crowds at the Paris Salon, and a mural he painted for the Ecole des Beaux Arts showing The Artists of All Ages became the most famous monumental painting in France.

This catalog of the remarkably representative group of paintings by Delaroche in the Wallace Collection provides a much needed introduction to an artist whose importance is being increasingly realized.
Paul Delaroche (1797-1856) was a significant figure in French 19th-century art. Reproductive engravings after his pictures helped make them familiar throughout the western world and his work was the first to be extensively photographed. Shortly after his death, however, he was largely forgotten, and it is only recently that his pictures have again attracted popular and academic interest. This publication marks the bicentenary of Delaroche's death. It represents an in-depth study of many of his most famous paintings, which form part of the Wallace Collection. These include the historical scenes "The Princes in the Tower" and the "Execution of Lady Jane Grey".
