Bridgeman Art Library offers images from over eight thousand collections and twenty nine thousand artists, as well as the Giraudon Archive. Founded in 1877, Giraudon is the prestigious French picture archive dealing specifically in fine art, history, architecture and archaeology. It contains images from thousands of collections depicting the art and culture of every continent. French art features strongly and highlights include Impressionist works from the Musée Marmottan-Monet, Paris, the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay and regional French collections. Key French collections are also represented such as the Bonora collection of Asian art. Under the ownership of Editions Larousse from 1953 to 1991, Giraudon acquired a vast number of historical engravings, book illustrations and fine examples of French master photography. Of special interest are the De Gaulle Archives, Dornac’s portraits of famous French writers and Moreau’s poignant photographs of the First World War.
