General Interest The Art of Domestic Life: Family Portraiture in Eighteenth-Century England Product Details: Category: Books ISBN: 0300110014 Title: The Art of Domestic Life: Family Portraiture in Eighteenth-Century England The Cheap Fast Free Post Author: Retford, Kate Publisher: Yale University Press Year Published: N/A Number of Pages: 368 Book Binding: Hardback Prizes: N/A Book Condition: VERYGOOD SKU: GOR006395455 Item description This book is the first to explore English family portraiture in the 18th century, a varied category ranging from small-scale conversation pieces to grandiose, full-length images. Kate Retford probes this much-loved genre to trace the values and meanings behind these compositions. While early images by artists such as Arthur Devis depicted sitters stiffly posed, later in the century scenes of affection and intimacy were created by portraitists like Thomas Gainsborough and Joshua Reynolds. In the country-house collections, portraits first emphasized ancestry and inherited virtue, but later emphasized the domestic merits of the family. The Art of Domestic Life contributes a wealth of visual evidence to the history of the family. It offers important insights into both the innovations and traditions in family portraiture of this period, drawing on in-depth research into paintings, the lives of the sitters depicted, and the domestic spaces in which portraits were hung.Published for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art Please note, the image is for illustrative purposes only, actual book cover, binding and edition may vary.
