Hardcover, original dust jacket, enlarged format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1969 monograph by the distinguished art historian Elena Kozhina remains one of the most evocative and scholarly examinations of the birth of French Romanticism ever published in the Soviet Union. The title, \"Romantic Battle,\" refers to the fierce aesthetic and ideological conflict that erupted in the 1820s between the rigid tenets of Neoclassicism and the burgeoning, emotional, and often violent imagery of the Romantic movement.\u003cbr\u003eKozhina’s study focuses on the crucial decade leading up to the July Revolution of 1830. She provides a masterly analysis of the two titans of the era: Théodore Géricault, whose \"Raft of the Medusa\" shattered academic conventions, and Eugène Delacroix, the \"volcano\" of Romanticism. Beyond these icons, the author illuminates the works of \"minor\" masters and the critical reception of the Paris Salons, weaving together a narrative supported by the artists' own letters, diaries, and contemporary reviews.\u003cbr\u003eThe book explores the movement's obsession with exoticism, contemporary political struggles (such as the Greek War of Independence), and the shift toward dramatic color and expressive brushwork. Published by the \"Iskusstvo\" house, the volume is beautifully produced in an enlarged format, featuring a wealth of black-and-white and color plates that capture the turbulent energy of the period. For art historians and collectors of fine academic editions, this work is a definitive guide to the intellectual and visual revolution that redefined European art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963246739498,"sku":"EB-306549766977","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_09a57161-b99a-4587-87b7-034146569254.jpg?v=1768163223","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/%d0%ba%d0%be%d0%b6%d0%b8%d0%bd%d0%b0-%d1%80%d0%be%d0%bc%d0%b0%d0%bd%d1%82%d0%b8%d1%87%d0%b5%d1%81%d0%ba%d0%b0%d1%8f-%d0%b1%d0%b8%d1%82%d0%b2%d0%b0-1969-kozhina-romantic-battle-french-painting-art-ussr","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
