This book reveals the role of rococo history painting in creating a new visual language that presented peace and happiness as an individual's natural rights in the aftermath of Louis XIV's bellicose reign. Susanna Caviglia reinvestigates the artistic practices of painters born around 1700 (e.g. Boucher, Natoire, and Carle Vanloo) in order to highlight the cultural forces at work within their now iconic images. She thus demonstrates the seriousness underpinning the notion of pleasure embodied within these alluring works of art.
