Dangerous Liaisons: Fashion and Furniture in the Eighteenth Century Kesaint Blanc art and life – isDuring the reigns of Louis XV (1723 74) and Louis XVI (1774 92), fashion and furniture were not simply meant to be beautiful but were also intended to arouse, attract, and seduce. Published in response to the critically acclaimed and hugely popular exhibition held at the Metropolitan Museum in the fall of 2004, Dangerous Liaisons focuses on fashion and its interplay with the paintings, furniture, and decorative arts of eighteenth century France.
