Excerpt from L'Ameublement Français au Grand Siècle Sous Louis XIII, ces hôtels de Paris, dont il reste quelques beaux spécimens aujourd' hui encore, n'étaient pas faits pour éblouir les passants, mais uniquement pour plaire à ceux qui y logeaient et pour l'agrément des visiteurs qu' on y recevait. Aussi celle de leurs façades qui donnait sur la rue était-elle ordinairement la plus sombre et la moins décorée, tandis que les façades de la cour ou du jardin étaient plus curieusement ornées. A l'intérieur, à part la chambre à coucher ou la cuisine, les pièces n'avaient pas d'affectation spéciale il n'y avait pas comme aujourd'hui le salon, la salle à manger, le cabinet de toilette, etc. C'était une suite de salles sans destination bien définie, et le seigneur du logis faisait dresser sa table à dîner ou disposer sa toilette tantôt dans l'une et tantôt dans l'autre, selon sa fantaisie, ou plutôt selon la température, car c'était un difficile problème, à cette époque, que d'assurer la chaleur intérieure de l'habitation, et l'on se tenait ordinairement dans la chambre où il y avait du feu, c'est - à - dire dans la chambre à coucher.

The first comprehensive catalogue of the Getty Museum’s significant collection of French Rococo ébénisterie furniture. This catalogue focuses on French ébénisterie furniture in the Rococo style dating from 1735 to 1760. These splendid objects directly reflect the tastes of the Museum’s founder, J. Paul Getty, who started collecting in this area in 1938 and continued until his death in 1976. The Museum’s collection is particularly rich in examples created by the most talented cabinet masters then active in Paris, including Bernard van Risenburgh II (after 1696–ca. 1766), Jacques Dubois (1694–1763), and Jean-François Oeben (1721–1763). Working for members of the French royal family and aristocracy, these craftsmen excelled at producing veneered and marquetried pieces of furniture (tables, cabinets, and chests of drawers) fashionable for their lavish surfaces, refined gilt-bronze mounts, and elaborate design. These objects were renowned throughout Europe at a time when Paris was considered the capital of good taste. The entry on each work comprises both a curatorial section, with description and commentary, and a conservation report, with construction diagrams. An introduction by Anne-Lise Desmas traces the collection’s acquisition history, and two technical essays by Arlen Heginbotham present methodologies and findings on the analysis of gilt-bronze mounts and lacquer. The free online edition of this open-access publication is available at www.getty.edu/publications/rococo/ and includes zoomable, high-resolution photography. Also available are free PDF, EPUB, and Kindle/MOBI downloads of the book, and JPG downloads of the main catalogue images.

This book represents the first multidisciplinary scientific work on a deep volcanic maar lake in comparison with other similar temperate lakes. The syntheses of the main characteristics of Lake Pavin are, for the first time, set in a firmer footing comparative approach, encompassing regional, national, European and international aquatic science contexts. It is a unique lake because of its permanently anoxic monimolimnion, and furthermore, because of its small surface area, its substantially low human influence, and by the fact that it does not have a river inflow. The book reflects the scientific research done on the general limnology, history, origin, volcanology and geological environment as well as on the geochemistry and biogeochemical cycles. Other chapters focus on the biology and microbial ecology whereas the sedimentology and paleolimnology are also given attention. This volume will be of special interest to researchers and advanced students, primarily in the fields of limnology, biogeochemistry, and aquatic ecology.
