Author: Brooks, Carolina ; Valter Curzi
Price: Not Available
ISBN: 9788857222714
Description: Milan: Skira, 2014. 28cm., pbk., 288pp., 110 color, 70 b&w illus. Exhibition held at Museo Fondazione Roma. English text. Summary: This is the first comprehensive overview of the extraordinary development of British painting during the eighteenth century, which anticipated themes, styles and techniques that later became paradigms of modernity. This volume focuses on the English context at a time when the growth of artistic standing was accompanied by the country’s conquest of hegemony on a historical, political and economic plane. The volume is arranged chronologically in seven sections, which include a selection of over 100 masterpieces by the most significant English painters. The main objective is to enable readers to rediscover the genres of portrait and landscape, which have always characterized English art. Readers can admire the work of artists like William Hogarth, Henry Fuseli (Johann Heinrich Füssli), Sir Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Gainsborough, Joseph Wright of Derby, George Stubbs, John Constable and William Turner, who offer a completely original cross-section of eighteenth and early nineteenth-century painting in Great Britain.
