Artists use color to express their feelings, but also to create an atmosphere or convey a character’s personality.
Through an overview of 17th-century French painting, readers will discover how Nicolas Poussin, Georges de La Tour, Louis Le Nain, Claude Le Lorrain and other famous artists of the time were able to apply the laws of color with such great talent.
