Transformations In Late Eighteenth Century Art by Robert Rosenblum

Iconography and Style

This insightful exploration delves into the dynamic shifts in art during the late 1700s, a period marked by a transition from the ornate and decorative Rococo style to the more austere and morally driven Neoclassicism. The narrative examines how these changes were influenced by broader cultural, political, and intellectual movements of the time, including the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. Through a detailed analysis of key artists and their works, the book highlights the evolving role of art in society and its reflection of the changing values and ideologies of the era.
