About This Book

Une peinture de la vie d'une cour princière au XVIIIe siècle, axée sur la convivialité des salons et les relations intellectuelles qui l'entourent. S'appuyant sur de nombreuses archives et correspondances inédites, le récit reconstitue usages quotidiens, divertissements et intrigues sociales, mêlant anecdotes, portraits et éléments institutionnels. Il conjugue notices biographiques de personnages littéraires et aristocratiques avec des réflexions sur le patronage, la morale et les pratiques artistiques, restituées avec franchise et sobriété.
