Privilege of the King: 18th-Century Printmakng at the French CourtFriday, December 22, 2006 - Sunday, April 8, 2007
The phrase “Avec privilege du roy” refers to the permission granted by the French government to a publisher to produce an edition. In this exhibition, it refers equally to the privileges of luxury, leisure, and elaborate rituals afforded to the king and his court in the eighteenth century that came to typify rococo excess and frivolity.
