Art in the Nineteenth Century

Description

Originally published in 1903, and delivered as a lecture the previous year, this book by Charles Waldstein, former director of the Fitzwilliam Museum, suggests that the nineteenth century was an age of artistic expansion, both in terms of subject matter and of method. Waldstein addresses painting, literature, architecture, music and decorative art in his comprehensive study. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in continuity and change in artistic expression in the nineteenth century.
