In this mesmerizing examination of Delacroixs crowning masterwork, Jacob Wrestling with the Angel, and of SaintSulpice, the grand church that houses it, JeanPaul Kauffmann reveals the city of Paris in an entirely new way.With the same insight and understanding he brought to his National Book Critics Circle Awardnominated The Black Room at Longwood, in The Angel of the Left Bank JeanPaul Kauffmann confronts humanitys struggle with God. His muse is Jacob Wrestling with the Angel, Eugne Delacroixs spiritual testimony and certainly one of his masterpieces, a painting that portrays one of the most enigmatic episodes in Genesis.Throughout his careful, impassioned examination of the work, which Delacroix labored over for eight years and finished in 1861, Kauffmann touches on architecture and art history, philosophy and religion, and the luminous city of Paris itself. Like a detective, he looks for lingering clues in the places Delacroix frequented and the objects he touched some 150 years ago, seeking to connect with the artists philosophical and artistic processand, in turn, to discover what truths we might ultimately glean from it. His journey makes for enthralling reading.
