Gobelins was undoubtedly a propaganda factory as much as an art factory, though it's difficult to say which was dominant, not that it makes much difference at this point in time in any case.

You might also want to look into my e-book, "Learning to Think Like an Artist" available at www.drawspace.com. It will soon be available in paperback at Amazon.com under the title "Art THINK." The content and style are similar to this blog, though none of the book items are on the blog. Thanks for your "review." --Jim LaneJim Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05882369817190401530noreply@blogger.com
