Download or read book Horace Vernet and the Thresholds of Nineteenth Century Visual Culture written by Daniel Harkett and published by Dartmouth College Press. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection reconsiders the life and work of Emile Jean-Horace Vernet (1789-1863), presenting him as a crucial figure for understanding the visual culture of modernity. The book includes work by senior and emerging scholars, showing that Vernet was a multifaceted artist who moved with ease across the thresholds of genre and media to cultivate an image of himself as the embodiment of modern France. In tune with his times, skilled at using modern technologies of visual reproduction to advance his reputation, Vernet appealed to patrons from across the political spectrum and made works that nineteenth-century audiences adored. Even Baudelaire, who reviled Vernet and his art and whose judgment has played a significant role in consigning Vernet to art-historical obscurity, acknowledged that the artist was the most complete representative of his age. For those with an interest in the intersection of art and modern media, politics, imperialism, and fashion, the essays in this volume offer a rich reward.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Horace Vernet With the exception of brief notices in contemporary reviews, no English biography of the two most popular French artists of modern times, Horace Vernet and Paul Delaroche, has yet appeared. Warm and intimate friends, closely connected by marriage, they were as opposite in character as they were united in their love of art. The productions of their genius are as much appreciated by ourselves as by their own people. Whilst Vernet, in his military pieces, glorified the successes of his country, and appealed to the patriotic instinct which is inherent in every Frenchman, Paul Delaroche, by his sensitive appreciation of the motives which sway human action, and his ideal treatment of historic subjects, reached a pathos which touches the hearts of all who study his works. Many of Delaroche's historical pictures are as well known in England as in France, and at one time were very popular. It will, however, be as the painter of the "Hemicycle" that he will be best known to fame. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: This book explores the unprecedented surge or oceanic feeling in the aesthetic expression of the romantic century. As secular thought began to displace the certainties of a sacral universe, the oceans that give life to our planet offered a symbol of eternity, rooted in the experience of nature rather than Biblical tradition. Images of the sea permeated the minds of the early Romantics, became a significant ingredient of romantic expression, and continued to emerge in the language, literature, art, and music of the nineteenth century. These pages document the evidence for this oceanic consciousness in some of the most creative minds of that century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines military paintings in France in the 1850s and 1860s, when the genre experienced a new lease of life. It recreates the paintings’ art-historical, historical and social context, and considers the explosion of military subjects in their own right rather than as a consequence of war reporting. The paintings’ entertainment value effectively communicated political agendas, catering to the emerging phenomenon of mass spectatorship and giving rise to innovative compositions. The book also looks at the other side of the artistic spectrum, proposing that smaller formats adapted the sentimental techniques of military memoirs to focus on the soldiers’ experiences of warfare and to elicit a critique of war.
