This work revisits art history through the representation of Blacks in European paintings from the 14th Century to the 20th Century. It tells the story of black personalities, real or fantasized, who became famous or on the contrary ignored by the general public. These faces often relegated to the margins of history nevertheless played an essential role over the centuries. The 300 works gathered in this anthology are a perfect testimony of it.
