Join James Wehn, guest curator of Elegance and Intrigue: French Society in 18th-Century Prints and Drawings, for an exploration of the various roles prints played in French art and culture during the 1700s, especially among the rapidly growing middle class. Prints provided entertainment, decorated homes, promoted the latest artistic trends, and inspired revolutionary spirit.
