Description
In this meticulously researched volume, readers will discover how the Enlightenment, with its emphasis on rationalism and scientific inquiry, challenged traditional beliefs and conventions, leading to a new era of artistic innovation. They will witness the rise of the middle class and its impact on the art market, as artists began to cater to the tastes and preferences of this emerging social force.
The book also sheds light on the emergence of the individual artist, who broke free from the constraints of guilds and aristocratic patronage to assert their own unique voices. Readers will encounter fascinating stories of artists who pushed the boundaries of their craft, experimenting with new techniques and styles, and exploring new genres such as landscape painting and portraiture.

Through vivid descriptions and insightful analysis, the book brings to life the masterpieces of this remarkable period, from the grand paintings of the Rococo era to the delicate pastels of the Impressionists.
