Guillaume Lethière in art and history

This illustrated monograph places Guillaume Lethière’s career within the upheavals of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century France. Born in Guadeloupe to a formerly enslaved woman and a white colonial official, Lethière moved to France as a teenager and rose to prominent roles in its art institutions. Essays by an international group of scholars examine his work alongside the political and social conditions that shaped his life, including colonialism, slavery, and diaspora. The book also considers the presence and reception of Caribbean artists in France, bringing Lethière’s paintings and drawings into a broader art-historical frame.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Neoclassical painting and individual-artist monographs.
  • Readers exploring Caribbean artists, diaspora, and French art history.
  • Readers seeking scholarly context on colonialism and slavery in the history of art.
