Chantilly In History And Art - 9781544607818

My first visit to Chantilly was in April 1904, when the Exhibition of the French Primitives at the Pavillon Marsan, following close on that at Bruges, raised interest and comment far outside the boundaries of France. I visited the Mus?e Cond? with the intention of studying some more examples of the French fifteenth-and sixteenth-century art which had so much attracted me in Paris. The high expectations I had conceived were not disappointed, and the result was that my studies in that marvellous collection were prolonged. Weeks grew into months. The Limbourgs, Jean Fouquet, and the Clouets held me in their spell; the Ch?teau of Chantilly, with the history of its famous owners, aroused my interest more and more.
