About the author

Jacques Élie Faure (4 April 1873 – 29 October 1937) was a French medical doctor, art historian and essayist.

Faure was called "the greatest art critic of the 1920s and 30s". He is the author of the History of Art, considered a historiographical pillar in the discipline.

Dr. Faure was drafted as a military doctor at the front line during the First World War. He was quickly traumatized by the fighting and moved to the rear of the battlefield.

His book, La Sainte Face (The Holy Face), published in 1917 retraces his time as a frontline doctor from August 1914 to August 1915. The second part, "Far from the Fire", describes his convalescence in Paris and Côte d'Azur.

Reviews

[Michael Finocchiaro · Rating 4 out of 5]

All of Elie Faure's books on Art captivated me. This one covers the Renaissance with pizzaz and brio. He explains how art of the Middle Ages evolved into the Renaissance, the influence of Flemish artists on the great Quattrocento Italians. He is a passionate writer, more so than, say, Grombrich. Highly recommended particularly if you read all of his art books in order.

Let us begin and sit at the table with the great artists of human history, let us admire the treasures that they left for us, let us talk with them, let us philosophize with them, let us ask the finer questions that will raise our spirits up for the good. We will discover the most beautiful and enlightening pieces of art ever made. Our journey starts in 1938 just before the outbreak of world war II. Then we go backwards in the succession of our existence. For an education.
