David Irwin, Neoclassicism, Ed. Phaidon, 1997

T

itolo completo: «Neoclassicism. An insight into the richness and variety of this dynamic style».

«Neoclassicism was the favourite style of both Napoleon and Thomas Jefferson, and made Josiah Wedgwood‘s fortune. The most pervasive style in the history of European art, it was deployed in the design of houses, churches, museums, banks, shops and items of daily use ranging from teapots to textiles.

This book is the first to embrace all manifestations of the style, not only its broad territorial scope, but also its versatility in every branch of art; it covers the years 1750-1830 when the style was at its height but also shows how it has exerted an influence to the present day».
