American Painters in France

I've been reading this wonderful book about 18th and 19th century American painters in France...it might sound dull but it is full of incident that really blew my mind...early on it it is stuffed with painters incidentally trading arms, during the French revolution they are going after abandoned paintings and buying and selling oceans of barely legal work they get from escaping aristocrats, the words and phrases are exquisite.
