Neoclassicism and Romanticism: Architecture, Sculpture, Painting, Drawing

Description

This richly illustrated volume presents a comprehensive overview of the wealth and diversity of architecture and fine art of the period between 1750 and 1848. While Neoclassicism refers to a reflection on the principles of art and architecture of classical antiquity, the term Romanticism encompasses a much broader scope and is concerned primarily with the intellectual attitude of the artist. Looking specifically to Europe, the United States, and Russia, the authors have selected the notion of subjectivism as the common denominator that links the visual arts and architecture between the periods of Rococo and Realism. With lively discussions on history, architecture, landscaping, sculpture, paintings, and drawings, this book provides the reader with a better understanding of the many aspects of this exciting epoch.
