The book examines military paintings in France in the 1850s and
1860s, when the genre experienced a new lease of life. It recreates
the paintings' art-historical, historical and social context, and
considers the explosion of military subjects in their own right
rather than as a consequence of war reporting. The paintings'
entertainment value effectively communicated political agendas,
catering to the emerging phenomenon of mass spectatorship and
giving rise to innovative compositions. The book also looks at the
other side of the artistic spectrum, proposing that smaller formats
adapted the sentimental techniques of military memoirs to focus on
the soldiers' experiences of warfare and to elicit a critique of
war.
