About the Book For more than 220 years, visual artists have attempted to illustrate the political and military cataclysm that descended upon Europe between 1792 and 1815. In With Brush and Pen: The First Century of Napoleonic Artists, for the first time the oldest genre of historical art is brought to life through the works created by an international cast of artists. Never before have so many examples of battle art, uniform studies, and maritime art been brought together in a single volume. And for the first time, the artists who created this feast for the eyes are the center of attention. Long hidden in the shadows, these men and women are now revealed. The other half of the story is the evolution of the market that consumed these works and the technical improvements in printing technologies that made their proliferation to a mass audience possible.
