From the earliest moment of his prolific career to the end of his life, Charles Blanc dedicated most of his intellectual energies to studying, administering, and writing about art. He was involved with various official functions—twice-elected director of the Beaux-arts in 1848 and 1870, a member of the Institut and the Academie Frangaise, founder of the Gazette des Beaux-arts — and his vast literary undertakings ranged from light-hearted travel impressions to Salon reviews to a series of scholarly monographs on Rembrandt, Ingres, Chenavard, and Grandville to the encyclopedic volumes of the Grammaire des arts du Dessin and the Histoire des Peintres de Toutes les Ecoles. Together, these achievements indicate the extent of Blanc’s influence on the artistic milieu of nineteenth-century France.
