English Art, 1714 - 1800

Joseph Terence Burke

4.9/5 (16154 ratings)

Description:The history of English art from 1714 to 1800 follows the general plan of the series. The author has taken as his central theme the interaction of classical and romantic movements of taste between the Palladian Revival under the Earl of Burlington and the revolutionary Neoclassicism of the age of Adam. The creation of the landscape garden and the spread of the rococo under its two English sanctions, the Chinese and the Gothick tastes, prepare the way for the most powerful anti-classical movement of the century, the Picturesque, which coincides with the second wave of enthusiasm for classical antiquity in the light of the unprecedented archaeological discoveries.The art of the period is presented through the eyes of contemporaries by extensive quotation from literary sources as well as the writings of artists. In painting, a special emphasis has been placed on history painting and the development of genre, so that the subject pictures of Reynolds, Gainsborough, and Joseph Wright of Derby are given as much prominence as their portraits. After Hogarth successfully challenges the system of aristocratic patronage by promoting public exhibitions and the sale of prints protected by copyright, there is a growth of new categories of subject painting which reflects the Industrial Revolution and the ideals of the Enlightenment.Although the English Watercolour School is dealt with in the succeeding volume, an account is given of its decisive role in preparing the way for the romantic landscapes of Constable and Turner.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
