Examining the momentous changes in form and meaning that occurred in this genre during this period, Alison West situates these developments within the context of the social upheavals leading to and following the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars. She traces important developments, such as the rise and fall of the neoclassical style, as well as establishes new topics such as "neo-Goujonism" while applying new methodologies to the study of this subject. Richly illustrated with over three hundred halftones and eight color plates, this work makes accessible an important body of art production that has been neglected in the literature of art history. / Contents Acknowledgments Abbreviations Introduction 1 Of Moral Instruction 2 Toward Classicism and Nudity in French Sculpture 3 The Goujon "Revival" in France 4 Rome 5 Early Neoclassicism in France 6 French Sculpture after 1789 7 The Sublime: Gigantism, the Persistence of Illusion and the Ugly 8 Canova, Flaxman and the Vicissitudes of the International Style in France 9 The Elgin Marbles and the End of the International Style in France Notes Selected Bibliography Index.
