An attractive copy. *** "Although the period treated in this book is conveniently labeled 'the nineteenth century,' the strict chronological delimitations of the title should not be taken too literally. Dr. Schultze's study begins around the time of the French Revolution of 1789--a watershed of fundamental significance in every field of human activity--and ends in the early years of the present century. Between these limits, the period is shown to be one of constant change and innovation in the artistic field, reflecting to a large extent the social, political, and industrial revolutions with which nineteenth-century Europe was so preoccupied. The speed and frequency with which styles and movements followed each other can only be matched by our own time, and it was, indeed, in the nineteenth century that the foundations were laid for much of what we now term 'modern' art. A few of the major milestones in the field of painting are enough to make the richness, variety, and originality of the age immediately apparent: Neoclassicism and Romanticism; realism and naturalism; the Pre-Raphaelites and the German Nazarenes; Impressionism, Pointillism, and Post-impressionism. Equally, the names of Goya, David, Ingres, Constable, Turner, Ge ricault, Delacroix, Daumier, Manet, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Cezanne, Seurat, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec cannot fail to indicate the enormous range of talent that this period produced. Nor have the less well-known figures been neglected, especial emphasis being laid on the important contribution of the Northern schools that has been too often underestimated. Separate sections are devoted to the fields of sculpture and architecture, ranging from Canova's heroic Neoclassicism to the delicate Art Nouveau forms of Minne, and from the strict geometry of Ledoux's and Boullee's Utopian projects to Gaudi 's colourful and fluid fantasies." - Publisher.
