The first English-language monograph on Vallayer-Coster in two decades offers a renewed feminist lens on one of eighteenth-century France's most celebrated painters.

Anne Vallayer-Coster (1744-1818) was a renowned French still-life painter who earned the patronage of Queen Marie Antoinette. She began her career as one of just four female artists admitted to the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in the late eighteenth century before making her debut at the Paris Salon. Vallayer-Coster's still lifes, which depicted a wide range of objects, including food, guns, game, shells, and flowers, captivated critics. Her talent ultimately won her commissions from the French royal family and her very own studio at the Louvre.

In this book, the first English-language monograph dedicated to Vallayer-Coster in over twenty years, author Kelsey Brosnan closely examines the artist's still-life paintings. Brosnan's analysis provides a fresh feminist reevaluation of Vallayer-Coster, situating her alongside contemporaries such as Elisabeth Vig�e Le Brun, Ad�la�de Labille-Guiard, and Jean-Sim�on Chardin. Anne Vallayer-Coster is an astute, accessible introduction to the artist that offers a new framework for experiencing the visceral qualities of her paintings.

Kelsey Brosnan is a writer and art historian specializing in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century French paintings, works on paper, and decorative arts.
