Imagined scenes of daily life by Antoine Watteau,
Jean-Baptiste-Simeon Chardin, Jean-Honore Fragonard, Jean-Baptiste
Greuze, Francois Boucher, Louis-Leopold Boilly, and other
18th-century French artists are the subject of this important new
study. The wide range of these artists' works encompasses domestic
subjects both grand and intimate, portraits and fashion plates, and
depictions of stylish entertainments, seductions, and sentimental
tales. The examples span the century, from the time of Louis XIV to
the French Revolution. Fifteen distinguished scholars present their
latest research into the contexts and meanings of French genre
painting during this period. The authors offer a variety of
critical and historical perspectives, covering such topics as the
relationship of genre painting to contemporary life and to
sexuality, sentiment, and sensibilite; its patrons and collectors;
its popularization through reproduction in the print trade; its
relation to the ideals of the dominant Royal Academy, history
painting, and portraiture; its contemporary critical reception; and
its resonances through subsequent centuries, continuing to our own
time.
