How social upheavals after the collapse of the French Empire shaped the lives and work of artists in early nineteenth-century Europe


As the French Empire collapsed between 1812 and 1815, artists throughout Europe were left uncertain and adrift. The final abdication of Emperor Napoleon, clearing the way for a restored monarchy, profoundly unsettled prevailing national, religious, and social boundaries. In Restoration, Thomas Crow combines a sweeping view of European art centers--Rome, Paris, London, Madrid, Brussels, and Vienna--with a close-up look at pivotal artists, including Antonio Canova, Jacques-Louis David, Th odore G ricault, Francisco Goya, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Thomas Lawrence, and forgotten but meteoric painters Fran ois-Joseph Navez and Antoine Jean-Baptiste Thomas. Whether directly or indirectly, all were joined in a newly international network, from which changing artistic priorities and possibilities emerged out of the ruins of the old.

Crow examines how artists of this period faced dramatic circumstances, from political condemnation and difficult diplomatic missions to a catastrophic episode of climate change. Navigating ever-changing pressures, they invented creative ways of incorporating critical events and significant historical actors into fresh artistic works. Crow discusses, among many topics, David's art and influence during exile, G ricault's odyssey through outcast Rome, Ingres's drive to reconcile religious art with contemporary mentalities, the titled victors over Napoleon all sitting for portraits by Lawrence, and the campaign to restore art objects expropriated by the French from Italy, prefiguring the restitution controversies of our own time.

Beautifully illustrated, Restoration explores how cataclysmic social and political transformations in nineteenth-century Europe reshaped artists' lives and careers with far-reaching consequences.

Not a happy customer
Color: Brown, Size: 14.9"L x 0.6"W
If you are looking for nice size cutting boards, then these are not for you! They are very small and I didnt like the etching on the cutting boards, they will get filled with things you are cutting. What I least didn't liked don't know if its Amazon fault or the vendor? But the item came in the original box the boards were in, the the top part of the box was open. Everything was in the box but the label was on the box. When I returned it to the UPS store they wanted to charge me$10.19 for a box even though it was shipped without a box finally convinced them to put in a large envelope and they still charge me $2.75. Not happy at all with this vendor or maybe Amazon?

Great set
Color: Brown, Size: 14.9"L x 0.6"W
I love this set. I can’t wait to have a party and try it out as a stand. The small cutting board is a little small but it is good for cutting a piece of fruit or small veggies.

Good option when replacing plastic cutting boards
If you're looking to replace plastic cutting boards, this is a nice option. The backs of the cutting boards are shaped to double as serving trays, a nice feature. These have been under heavy use, and are wearing well. I only gave 4 stars because the slots in the rack these stand in was too tight a fit, which I corrected with a little sanding in the slots.

Format: Kindle
More comprehensive than I originally thought it would be. It's a great book for learning about Greek without all of the memorization (although there is some) by an author who really knows his subject. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to get deeper into Bible study but doesn't have the time for full college courses.
