LOUIS XVI
On aime la transparence de l'ivoire; L'aquarelle, utilisé en couches transparentes, laisse à l'éclat diaphane du support toute son expression. Alors commence l' age d'or de l Art de la miniature Française.
With the accession of Louis XVI's, the use of vellum or copper disappears completely in the Art of miniature : reign of ivory began.
We like the transparency of ivory; the watercolor, used in transparent layers, leaving the sheer brilliance of the full expression of this media. So begins the Golden Age of the Art of French miniature.
