This collection reconsiders the life and work of Emile Jean-Horace
Vernet (1789-1863), presenting him as a crucial figure for
understanding the visual culture of modernity. The book includes
work by senior and emerging scholars, showing that Vernet was a
multifaceted artist who moved with ease across the thresholds of
genre and media to cultivate an image of himself as the embodiment
of modern France. In tune with his times, skilled at using modern
technologies of visual reproduction to advance his reputation,
Vernet appealed to patrons from across the political spectrum and
made works that nineteenth-century audiences adored. Even
Baudelaire, who reviled Vernet and his art and whose judgment has
played a significant role in consigning Vernet to art-historical
obscurity, acknowledged that the artist was the most complete
representative of his age. For those with an interest in the
intersection of art and modern media, politics, imperialism, and
fashion, the essays in this volume offer a rich reward.
