Works Cited
Harriet Stone is Professor of French and Comparative Literature at Washington University in St. Louis.
"This work is notable for its rich, sensitive, and perceptive
analysis of the artistic works, and the thought-provoking parallels
and contrasts developed throughout."
*Modern Language Review*
"Stone makes a persuasive claim by demonstrating how Dutch
realistic painting gradually chipped away at the French monarchy’s
hold on ideas.[…] This claim is bold enough to require extensive
explanation, which Stone provides within a strong conceptual
framework."
*H-France*
