I'm exploring The Book of Decorative Furniture (1910). Marie Antoinette's 1787 jewel cabinet is a masterpiece of Louis XVI design. Made of mahogany with gilt & painted plaques- Pompeian-classic influence. https://buff.ly/3ZMuieR #arthistory 📜 #NYPLDigitalCollections #libraries

Mapping Provenance: Fragonard's Progress of Love
As illustrated by the turbulent history of Fragonard’s Progress of Love series, the destiny of an artwork depends in large part on the taste and temperament of the client who commissioned it.
