Paperback
Published : Tuesday 6 February 2018
Description
Examining the literary career of the eighteenth-century Irish painter James Barry through an interdisciplinary methodology, this is the first full-length study of the artists writings. Lenihan assesses the artists own aesthetic philosophy about painting and printmaking, and reveals the extent to which Barry wrestles with the significant stylistic transformations of the pre-eminent artistic genre of his age: history painting. Lenihans book delves into the connections between Barrys writings and art, and the issues that dominated the public sphere in London during the American and French Revolutions.
