Summary
The Symbolists have until recently remained the unknown force of European nineteenth-century painting, hidden behind the brilliant success of the Impressionists, and lost in an oblivion to which the stark functionalism of the years following World War I condemned them. Now Philippe Jullian has selected some of the most exciting examples of the work of the Symbolist painters and provided an account of their development and success.
