Rococo to Revolution: Major Trends in Eighteenth-Century Painting by Michael Levey
Requirements: PDF Reader, 31.3 MB
Overview: This book takes as its theme the major trends of European painting in the eighteenth century, tracing the exciting evolution – and revolution – that took place in art from Watteau’s birth to the death of Goya. The result is itself exciting: a stimulating study which encourages appreciation of a century rich in artistic talent yet often unduly despised. Without imposing a pattern, the book makes clear the eighteenth century’s basic concern with nature and art. It sketches the rise of the Italian Rococo style and the liberal climate which fostered the art of Watteau. The high artifice of Tiepolo and Boucher is appraised, and then the inevitable reaction which set in against their style.
