Routledge research in art history
Inhalt:
The case studies provide not just an account of the pursuit of history in art within Western Europe but also examples from beyond that sphere. These cover canonical and conventional examples of history painting as well as more inclusive, 'popular' and vernacular visual cultural phenomena. General themes explored include the problematics internal to the theory and practice of academic history painting and historical genre painting, including compositional devices and the authenticity of artefacts depicted; relationships of power and purpose in historical art; the use of historical art for alternative Liberal and authoritarian ideals; the international cross-fertilisation of ideas about historical art; and exploration of the diverse influences of socioeconomic and geopolitical factors.
Anmerkung:
"This edited collection grew out of the 'Representing the Past in the Nineteenth Century' panel at the Association of Art Historians conference hosted by the University of Warwick in 2011" (preface and acknowledgements)
