It would be quite impossible to understand French baroque art of the 17th and 18th centuries without acknowledging the major social impact caused by the publication of l'Astrée, Honoré d'Urfé's, lengthy novel. Published for the first time in 1607, l'Astrée fuelled the imagination of French society for almost two centuries with allegorical fancies filled with shepherds and shepherdesses and their thwarted and impossible love stories.
