As European settlers in America explored the strange landscapes of the New World, their artistic vocabulary drew on the painterly traditions of the Old World, in particular the works of John Martin, J.M.W. Turner, Caspar David Friedrich, C.G. Carus, Gustave Courbet, and Gustave Dore Romantic evocations of the sublime were transplanted into scenes of the uninhabited West, as well as into the late 19th-century conquest of the arctic regions, by painters such as F.E. Church, and the photographer Eadweard Muybridge. With contributions by internationally acclaimed historians of art and science, this beautifully illustrated book will be essential reading for students of 19th- and 20th-century art, photography, and architecture, as well as for all those interested in the history of representation in the modern world.
