Annotation

Art for life's sake became the watchword of the French Romantics. Arguing that they transferred their idealism to art in reaction to the anti-heroism of the Enlightenment and French Revolution, a London art historian traces the movement's evolution by examining this change in outlook in the work and views of Gros, de Mussett, Baudelaire, Delacroix, Ingres, the Goncourt brothers, Zola, and Huysmans. Includes 41 color and b&w plates. References are interspersed throughout the text.
