Reconstructing Empress Eugenie's position as a private collector
and a public patron of a broad range of media, this study is the
first to examine Eugenie (1826-1920), whose patronage of the arts
has been overlooked even by her many biographers. The empress's
patronage and collecting is considered within the context of her
political roles in the development of France's institutions and
international relations. Empress Eugenie and the Arts: Politics and
Visual Culture in the Nineteenth Century also examines
representations of the empress, and the artistic transformation of
a Hispanic woman into a leading figure in French politics. Based on
extensive research at architectural sites and in archives, museums,
and libraries throughout Europe, and in Britain and the United
States, this book offers in-depth analysis of many works that have
never before received scholarly attention - including
reconstruction and analysis of Eugenie's apartment at the
Tuileries. From her self-definition as empress through her
collections, to her later days in exile in England, art was
integral to Eugenie's social and political position.
