The central claim is that imaginative response to these politically-charged experiences of loss constitutes a major shaping force in French Romantic art, and that pursuit of this theme in light of parallel developments in literature and political debate reveals a pattern of disenchantment transmuted into cultural capital. Focusing on imagery that spoke to loss through visual and verbal idioms particular to France in the aftermath of the Revolution and Empire, the book illuminates canonical works by major figures such as Euge?ne Delacroix, The?odore Chasse?riau, and Camille Corot, as well as long-forgotten images freighted with significance for nineteenth-century viewers. A study in national bereavement - an urgent theme in the present moment- the book provides a new lens through which to view the coincidence of imagination and strife at the heart of French Romanticism. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, French literature, French history, French politics, and religious studies"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge research in art history. 606 $aRomanticism$zFrance 606 $aLoss (Psychology) in art 615 0$aRomanticism 615 0$aLoss (Psychology) in art. 676 $a840.914 676 $a700.94409034 686 $aART015030$2bisacsh 700 $aRibner$b Jonathan P.$01233241 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910746593603321 996 $aLoss in French Romantic art, literature, and politics$93570246 997 $aUNINA
