Summary:

"Paul Delaroche (1797-1856) was one of the most celebrated artists of the first half of the nineteenth century. His major paintings, including The Execution of Lady Jane Grey, The Princes in the Tower, The Young Christian Martyr, and other works based on historical events, achieved widespread recognition throughout Europe. Delaroche's fame in his own lifetime has been followed by an almost complete neglect in the twentieth century." "In this handsomely illustrated book, Stephen Bann redresses the imbalance of scholarship on Delaroche."--Jacket.
Paul Delaroche (1797-1856) was one of the most celebrated artists of the first half of the nineteenth century. His major paintings, including The Execution of Lady Jane Grey, The Princes in the Tower, The Young Christian Martyr, and other works based on historical events, achieved widespread recognition throughout Europe. Delaroche's fame in his own lifetime has been followed by an almost complete neglect in the twentieth century. In this handsomely illustrated book, Stephen Bann redresses the imbalance of scholarship on Delaroche. It is the first book devoted to Delaroche since the publication of a small catalogue raisonné after the artist's death in 1856. Paul Delaroche: History Painted examines the artist's career from his earliest history paintings to his later, more experimental works that were influenced by photography. Bann's volume also offers the first detailed analysis of Delaroche's major works in the context of the visual culture of the early nineteenth century--dust jacket flap
