- Published to accompany an outstanding exhibition at the Palace of Versailles, July 5 October 17, 2016
Published to accompany an outstanding exhibition at the Palace of Versailles, this catalogue is a collective work bringing together contributions from French, American and British specialists in this field, which together shed light on the importance of the relationship between France and America in the closing years of the Ancien Régime.
During the reign of Louis XVI, the Palace of Versailles - the seat of power and government in France - played a crucial role in the history of America, in its struggle for independence, and in the recognition of the United States by the great European powers. In tracing this remarkable story, the catalogue demonstrates the constant interest displayed in the fledgling United States by the French monarchy.
Richly illustrated throughout, it documents the events of the War of Independence, before exploring the consequences of the entry of France into the war, the siege of Yorktown, and the peace treaty signed at Versailles in 1783. Finally, it analyses the origins and development of the mythology of the 'American Revolution' in both France and the United States, a source of enduring inspiration for artists and history painters.

Book Description gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Für die frühe Geschichte der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika spielt das Schloss Versailles, als Sitz der Regierung Ludwig XVI., eine zentrale Rolle. Die Unabhängigkeitsbestrebungen der jungen Nation wurden hier aufmerksam verfolgt und die Wahrnehmung dieses Prozesses an den europäischen Höfen mit beeinflusst. Der Band beschreibt die historische Verstrickung der französischen Monarchie in die amerikanische Geschichte und das große Interesse der französischen Politik an diesen Vorgängen in der neuen Welt. Anhand der vorzüglichen Illustration kann man den Unabhängigkeitskrieg, die Folgen des französischen Kriegseintritts, die Belagerung von Yorktown und die Friedensverhandlungen in Versailles 1783 nachverfolgen. Am Ende untersucht der Band die Ursprünge des Mythos von der Amerikanischen Revolution, sowohl in Frankreich, als auch in den USA. Besonders die Historienmalerei fand hier eine unerschöpfliche Inspirationsquelle für neue Bildthemen. Spezialisten aus Frankreich, Amerika und Großbritannien beleuchten dieses spannende Verhältnis zwischen den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika und Frankreich am Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts.
