In an expansive study of cultural life under the Sun King, Harriet Stone considers the monarchy's elaborate palace decors, the court's official records, and the classical theatre alongside Northern images of daily life in private homes, urban markets, and country fields. Stone argues that Netherlandish art assumes an unobtrusive yet, for the history of ideas, surprisingly dramatic role within the flourishing of the arts, both visual and textual, in France during Louis XIV's reign. Netherlandish realist art represented thinking about knowledge that challenged the monarchy's hold on the French imagination, and its efforts to impose the king's portrait as an ideal and proof of his authority. As objects appreciated for their aesthetic and market value, Northern realist paintings assumed an uncontroversial place in French royal and elite collections. Flemish and Dutch still lifes, genre paintings, and cityscapes, however, were not merely accoutrements of power, acquisitions made by those with influence and money. Crowning Glories reveals how the empirical orientation of Netherlandish realism exposed French court society to a radically different mode of thought, one that would gain full expression in the EncyclopeÌdie of Diderot and d'Alembert."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Louis $b XIV, $c King of France, $d 1638-1715 $x Art patronage. 650 0 $a Arts, French $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Painting, Dutch $y 17th century $x Influence. 650 0 $a Painting, Flemish $y 17th century $x Influence. 650 0 $a Realism in art $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Art and society $z France $x History $y 17th century. 651 0 $a France $x History $x History $y 17th century. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211023741.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190702014652.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3CC99B6C875711E9A56C064497128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
