Napoleon and History Painting: Antoine-Jean Gros's La Bataille d'Eylau

by Christopher Prendergast

Book Overview

This is the first full-length study of Antoine-Jean Gros from an art-historical point of view, but it is more than a monograph. It uses the example of Gros to examine a more general crisis of history painting at a time (the Napoleonic period) of major political and cultural transition.
