Beskrivning
In this highly original book Norman Bryson applied 'structuralist' and 'post-structuralist' approaches to French Romantic Painting. He considers the work of David, Ingres and Delacroix as artists who found themselves within an artistic tradition that had nothing creative to offer them.
'this is an important book which cuts into the fabric of nineteenth-century art historical studies … What Bryson has to say demands and deserves serious attention and sustained consideration.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
