NEW BOOK: FRENCH MEDALLIC ART IN THE 19TH AND 20TH CENTURY

Nicolas Maier writes:

It took some time for the Musée d’Orsay to make the catalogue accompanying the exhibition ‘La médaille en France aux XIXe et XXe siècles’ available online. With nearly 300 illustrations (partly in colour), it provides a good overview about French medallic art, even if the text is only in French.

The book may be purchased through the French museums boutique’s online shop at the price of EUR 39.99: www.boutiquesdemusees.fr/en/shops/musee-orsay/exhibition-catalogue-au-creux
-de-la-main-la-medaille-en-france-aux-xixe-et-xxe-siecles/4496.html

Back in November 2012, Nicolas notified us of the series of exhibits of French medallic art, now captured in the catalog. It should be a valuable reference. Here's some information from the web page. -Editor
