«Couleur du temps» is the historical novel by Françoise Chandernagor, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (162 pages, in French).
Baptiste V***, a forgotten former court painter, exhibits an anachronistic family portrait in Paris: the woman is dressed as in another era, the children seem to be the same age, and the artist is already an old man. Chandernagor thus reconstructs a life and the search for the 'couleur du temps', the colour that time leaves on portraits and in memory.
Work originally published in 2004; this edition is from 2006 and belongs to the Folio imprint, within Editions Gallimard.
For readers of historical fiction interested in painting, memory and the passage of time.
