A curious man, a traveling painter, concerned with the truth about humanity, François Auguste Biard (1799-1882) is one of the forgotten representatives of Romantic painting. Famous in the 1840s for his comic genre scenes, he is today recognized for his landscapes of the Frozen Ocean and the Amazon, and hailed for his works denouncing the slave trade or exploring madness. Thanks to numerous previously unpublished works, this first monograph dedicated to him captures the incredible diversity of his career.
