Nineteenth Century British Painting provides a succinct and
informative chronological survey of a century of British painting
which produced a great variety of work. It progresses from the
beginnings of Romanticism in the late eighteenth century to the
British adoption of Impressionism in the late nineteenth, dividing
this prolific period into nine parts. In each part the work of the
major figures in particular movements or genres is discussed and
analysed, and each painter is presented in a biographical context.
The artists are set in the framework of their historical, social
and economic background. The majority of the paintings and drawings
that are examined in detail are reproduced in the 323 plates, 82 of
them in colour. The book is intended to be used more as an
introduction, and where appropriate as a textbook, than as a work
of reference, although its arrangement will enable readers to
obtain fuller information about individual artists, with longer
sections devoted to such major figures as Lawrence, Turner,
Constable, Rossetti, Leighton and Whistler. The last decade has
seen a growing interest in nineteenth century British art in this
country, and also in the United States and on the Continent. During
this time much has been published in the field and there has been a
succession of important exhibitions. Even so, there is no
up-to-date and comprehensive survey of the whole century on the
market. Nineteenth Century British Painting fills the gap, meeting
the need for such a book among undergraduate and graduate students,
and among connoisseurs and collectors. It will also have a strong
appeal for people with a general interest in the period.
