Buchbeschreibung Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Through the lens of monarchical image-making, this doctoral researchoffers a critical outlook onto late seventeenth-century Anglo-Frenchpolitical and artistic relations.Anchored in the tradition of English academic discourse, it exploresthe influence of French royal image-making on English monarchiesat the turn of the eighteenth century. The study investigates the relevanceof Louis XIV to English royal iconography during the reigns ofWilliam III and Queen Anne across a wide range of source material- from panegyric and portraiture, to medals, sculpture, and architecture.In doing so, it foregrounds the intricate interplay between politicalcommunication and different forms of artistic imagination in theearly modern period. The study conceptualises the relation betweenpost-revolutionary English monarchical image-making and its Frenchcounterpart as one of contest with and emancipation from French influence.It argues that English post-revolutionary image-making, notonly mirrored, but actively contributed to the decline of the Ludovicanmonarchical model, whilst maintaining the figure of the monarch ascentral to public political discourse. 237 pp. Englisch.
