It describes how an embryonic London art world metamorphosed into a flourishing community of native and immigrant practitioners, whose efforts ultimately led to the rise of a British School deemed worthy of comparison with its European counterparts. Within this larger narrative are authoritative accounts of the achievements of celebrated artists such as Peter Lely, William Hogarth, Thomas Gainsborough, and J.M.W. Turner. David H. Solkin has interwoven their stories and many others into a critical analysis of how visual culture reinforced, and on occasion challenged, established social hierarchies and prevailing notions of gender, class, and race as Britain entered the modern age. More than 300 artworks, accompanied by detailed analysis, beautifully illustrate how Britain's transformation into the world's foremost commercial and imperial power found expression in the visual arts, and how the arts shaped the nation in return"-- $c Provided by publisher. 546 $a Text in English. 650 0 $a Art, British $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Art and society $z Great Britain $x History $y 18th century. 650 7 $a ART / European. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Europe / Great Britain. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Modern / 17th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Modern / 18th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Art and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815432 650 7 $a Art, British. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00816044 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1700 - 1799 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Yale University Press Pelican history of art. 941 $a 5 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214021157.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20170218010822.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826040938.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20160708010816.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20160331012422.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F6B9C42EECCE11E5A64DF5B3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
