内容説明
This beautiful volume--published to coincide with an exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum to be held from May 1 to September 2, 2007--is the first to focus on the series of life-size portraits painted by the eighteenth-century artist Jean-Baptiste Oudry of the animals in Louis XV's royal menagerie at Versailles. A tiger, a lion, a leopard, and, most impressive of all, the famous rhinoceros known as Clara joined a group of other exotic animals in Oudry's "painted menagerie," which was purchased in 1750 by his German patron, the Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin.
The book's insightful essays situate this suite of paintings within the context of Oudry's career; discuss Oudry's remarkable drawings of animals; and present a fascinating history of menageries and of the phenomenon known as "Claramania"--when the real rhinoceros, Clara, traveled through Europe and caused a public sensation.

内容説明
This is an exquisitely illustrated exploration of Oudry's portraits of Louis XV's royal menagerie at Versailles. Jean-Baptiste Oudry (1686-1755) was one on the most popular and respected artists of his generation, working not only with paints but also as a tapestry designer and highly respected illustrator. "Oudry's Painted Menagerie" is a beautifully illustrated volume that focuses on the series of life-size portraits he painted of the animals in Louis XV's royal menagerie at Versailles - including a tiger, a lion, a leopard, and Clara the rhinoceros who was a public sensation when she 'toured' Europe. Intelligent and insightful essays place the paintings within the context of Oudry's career, as well as discussing his remarkable animal drawings, and present a fascinating history on the popularity of menageries.
