Frontmatter -- PREFACE -- CONTENTS -- ILLUSTRATIONS -- INTRODUCTION: THE ETHICAL AND FORMAL BASES OF CLASSICISM IN FRENCH PAINTING -- CHAPTER ONE: CLASSICISM AND MINOR TRENDS IN THE ART OF DAVID -- CHAPTER TWO ULTRACLASSICISTS AND ANTICLASSICISTS IN THE DAVID FOLLOWING -- CHAPTER THREE PROTOBAROQUE TENDENCIES IN THE PERIOD OF CLASSICISM -- CHAPTER FOUR THE TRANSFORMATION OF CLASSICISM IN THE ART OF INGRES -- CHAPTER FIVE EARLY BAROQUE AND REALISM IN THE ART OF GERICAULT -- CHAPTER SIX ROMANTIC HIGH BAROQUE IN THE ART OF DELACROIX -- ILLUSTRATIONS
Summary: This renowned study follows the evolution of French painting from the Revolution through the Napoleonic era. Beginning with David's revolutionary classicism, Friedlaender scrutinizes the work of early-nineteenth-century artists against the background of their times. He reveals the baroque tendencies diffused into the art of Prudhon and the same predisposition, mixed with a strong realism, in the work of Géricault. Two distinct trends appear, deriving from Pussin and Rubens. The author follows the styles as they mature, and represents their consumation in two great masters—the refined and abstract classicism of Ingres and the baroque of Delacroix with its flamboyant colorism and exotic subjects.
