Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. This collection of essays explore the way portraits intersected with politics during the Revolutionary and Imperial Eras in The United States and France.The portraits examined in this book highlight the challenges artists faced in the conceptualization, concretization, and promotion of political identity in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Portrait scholars T. Lawrence Larkin, Brandon Brame Fortune, Philippe Bordes, Amy Freund, and Margaretta Lovell provide thematic introductions dedicated to separate trends in the fashioning of Revolutionary and Federal/Imperial identity including the challenges of representing a strong leader, republican assembly, free citizen, and the uncovering of overlooked people or patterns. These thematic introductions are followed by essays that offer case studies of artists negotiating the desires and interests of their prominent patrons including Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette, George Washington, Napoleon Bonaparte, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, among others. These essays analyze how artists in the United States and France grappled with how abstract notions of individual liberty, delegated powers, and collective governance can be invested in drawn, painted, printed, or mapped likenesses of high-ranking individuals during the Age of Revolution.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A great unsolved mystery in American political culture is what became of the U.S. Congress's state portraits of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette during the British invasion of the Capitol, Wash., D.C., on the night of 24-25 August 1814. These were official full length images of the French monarchs arrayed in ceremonial magnificence. The fate of the royal portraits has been difficult to determine. Larkin undertakes a comprehensive examination to test two theories -- that the royal portraits were burned by British troops during their occupation of the capital or looted by American scavengers during the chaotic aftermath. He breaks new ground for the creating of an art and material history for the War of 1812. Illus.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In Search of Marie-Antoinette in the 1930s follows Austrian biographer Stefan Zweig, American producer Irving Thalberg, and Canadian-American actress Norma Shearer as they attempt to uncover personal aspects of Marie-Antoinette's life at the French court in the late eighteenth-century and to dramatize them in biography, cinema, and performance for public consumption during the 1930s. The first chapter establishes the core subject as an inquiry into the respective contributions of Zweig, Thalberg, and Shearer in formulating an 'objective' or 'authentic' image of 'Marie-Antoinette.' The three chapters that follow examine in some detail how Zweig pursued research and drafted the psychological biography at his Salzburg home, Thalberg acquired film rights to the best-selling book and fought the censors to preserve the more sensational aspects of the screenplay at the Culver City studio, and Shearer worked closely with a new producer to give the script a strong romantic angle and to perform the character of the queen on the sound stage. The professionals' research standards and strategic objectives are weighed in the formulation of a new myth at once sensitive to the historical record and suited to the leisure market.…
