The Artist and the State, 1777-1855: The Politics of Universal
History in British & French Painting is the first book-length
study to examine political uses of 'universal history', or the
philosophy of history, in European art from 1777 to 1855. Daniel R.
Guernsey discusses a range of mural paintings and sculptural works
produced in England and France between the American Revolution and
the Universal Exposition of 1855, comparing the ways artists such
as James Barry, Eugene Delacroix, Paul Chenavard, David d'Angers,
and Gustave Courbet expressed linear or cyclical histories of
progress and decline. By considering the work of these important
European artists together, he reveals not only the rich artistic
interaction that took place between England and France - as well as
Germany - at this time, but also how the notion of 'universal
history' was to become a major preoccupation in the work of these
individual artists, each one participating in shaping a highly
significant mode of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century political
art.
