Andrei Pop

Antiquity, Theatre, and the Painting of Henry Fuseli

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this volume, Pop examines how art of the mid 1700s and early 1800s - inspired by translations of Greek tragedy - reveals a view of modern Europe attempting to recognize its own historical status as one culture among many. He analyses this broad view of culture through the lens of Anglo-Swiss artist Henry Fuseli's life and work.
