The Age of Marie Antoinette (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the cultural and artistic revival that characterized Europe between 1770 and 1790, a period often overshadowed by the tumultuous events of the French Revolution that followed. The author argues that, in spite of the excesses and abuses of the aristocracy and clergy, the era was marked by significant progress in urbanity, morality, and artistic achievement. The book examines the rise of neoclassicism in art and architecture, inspired by the rediscovery of ancient Greek and Roman forms. It also highlights the growing interest in spirituality and philanthropy, as well as the emergence of new literary and musical genres that reflected the changing social and intellectual landscape. The author contrasts the grace and sophistication of this period with the materialism and cynicism that had prevailed during the reign of Louis XV, suggesting that it represents a crucial moment in the evolution of European civilization. The book concludes by reflecting on the enduring legacy of this era, which laid the foundation for the cultural and artistic achievements of the 19th century.
