Philippe Jullian, whose particular field of expertise is the art of the 19th century, presents in this book the first world-wide study of Orientalism.The nineteenth century the Orient exerted a curious attraction on the middle classes. Tired of the industrial revolution and in a nostalgic mood, they sought to be taken out of themselves. This need was filled by the oriental world-in this context, the Near and Middle East. Painters and artists such as Byron, Goethe and Hugo, Delacrroix, Dadd, Holman Hunt, Lear, Leighton, Chasseriau and Fromentin were among the exponents of Orientalism. The movement spread to England, France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany and Austria. 24 color & 116 b/w illustrations and appendices included. Out of Print. Condition: Very Fine.
