Open to the public, the homes and studios of eight celebrated nineteenth-century painters—Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Gustave Courbet, Eug�ne Delacroix, Gustave Moreau, Rosa Bonheur, Jean-Fran�ois Millet, and Charles-Fran�ois Daubigny—provide intimate insights into their work and personalities as well as pleasurable day-long itineraries in and around Paris. A writer and a photographer, both of whose work appears frequently in Architectural Digest, present sumptuous portraits of these painters’ lives and times. Travel information includes discriminating hotel and restaurant recommendations; sites of related interest; excursions to nearby ch�teaux and medieval fortress towns; directions for travel by car and train; museums in Paris with works by each artist; phone and fax numbers and email addresses for all listings.
