Manet who? Three nicely illustrated articles in La Tribune de l’Art demonstrate there was much more to the art of the French 19th century than a few rebel geniuses. Phillip Dennis Cate surveys (in English) “Sculpture by Carpeaux, Dalou and Carriès” at The Petit Palais, Thierry Cazaux “Pierre Loti: Phantoms of the Orient” at the Musée de la Vie romantique, and Didier Rykner “Pierre-Victor Galland: A French Tiepolo of the Nineteenth Century” in Roubaix.
