How social upheavals after the collapse of the French Empire shaped the lives and work of artists in early nineteenth-century Europe


As the French Empire collapsed between 1812 and 1815, artists throughout Europe were left uncertain and adrift. The final abdication of Emperor Napoleon, clearing the way for a restored monarchy, profoundly unsettled prevailing national, religious, and social boundaries. In Restoration, Thomas Crow combines a sweeping view of European art centers--Rome, Paris, London, Madrid, Brussels, and Vienna--with a close-up look at pivotal artists, including Antonio Canova, Jacques-Louis David, Th odore G ricault, Francisco Goya, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Thomas Lawrence, and forgotten but meteoric painters Fran ois-Joseph Navez and Antoine Jean-Baptiste Thomas. Whether directly or indirectly, all were joined in a newly international network, from which changing artistic priorities and possibilities emerged out of the ruins of the old.

Crow examines how artists of this period faced dramatic circumstances, from political condemnation and difficult diplomatic missions to a catastrophic episode of climate change. Navigating ever-changing pressures, they invented creative ways of incorporating critical events and significant historical actors into fresh artistic works. Crow discusses, among many topics, David's art and influence during exile, G ricault's odyssey through outcast Rome, Ingres's drive to reconcile religious art with contemporary mentalities, the titled victors over Napoleon all sitting for portraits by Lawrence, and the campaign to restore art objects expropriated by the French from Italy, prefiguring the restitution controversies of our own time.

Beautifully illustrated, Restoration explores how cataclysmic social and political transformations in nineteenth-century Europe reshaped artists' lives and careers with far-reaching consequences.

Great set for the price!
Size: Queen, Color: Beige
I’ve had the set for several months now and I really like this set. I was nervous about the comforter being thin and cheap, however, after washing and drying it is a really good comforter for the price. The sheets and pillow cases are also very smooth, no pilling or ripping, stitches are still intact, so I think it is set is great.

I like how soft and comfortable this comforter set feels. It’s lightweight, so it works well for summer or if you don’t want something heavy. The color looks clean and matches my room nicely. Everything fit the bed the way it should, and the fabric feels smooth. It’s a nice set for everyday use.

Beautiful and Comfortable Bedding Set
Size: Queen, Color: Beige
I really love this comforter set. The material feels soft and comfortable, and it made my bed look elegant and cozy. The color is beautiful and the pieces fit perfectly on my queen bed. It was easy to set up and it instantly made my room look more organized and stylish. For the price, I think it’s a great value because you get several pieces in one set. I’m very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants their bedroom to look nice and comfortable.
