Beskrivning
Anne Vallayer-Coster (1744–1818) was one of just four female academicians admitted to the French Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in the late 18th century. She made her debut at the Paris Salon only a year after joining the academy with her outstanding still-lifes. Later, she secured Queen Marie Antoinette as a patron.This book, the first English-language publication in over 20 years dedicated to this artist, provides a fresh, feminist re-evaluation of her biography and artistic context. Exploring the wide range of objects, materials and textures which the artist depicted – from food and flowers to guns and game – this study offers a new, synaesthetic framework for experiencing the visceral qualities of Vallayer-Coster’s still-life paintings as they were understood in her own time.

Recensioner i media

Honourable Mention in the 2026 Society for the Study of Early Modern Women and Gender Publication AwardsJury comment:'This rigorously researched, richly illustrated book guides readers through the career of Anne Vallayer-Coster, an accomplished painter in late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth century France. Throughout, the author examines the artist's life and work within the context of the male-dominated art world, her navigation of that world, and how gender discourse shaped both the art she produced and its reception. Brosnan's nuanced discussion of the cultural and artistic contexts in which different types of still life paintings operated makes her contributions broadly relevant beyond the details of Vallayer-Coster's biography. The color illustrations are stunning and the prose is engaging and accessible for specialists and non-specialists alike.'
