Art & Visual Culture 1600-1850: Academy to Avant-Garde
This volume interrogates labels used in standard histories of the art of this period (baroque, rococo, neoclassicism, and Romanticism) and examines both established and recent art-historical methodologies, including formalism, iconology, spectatorship and reception, and identity and difference. Key topics include baroque Rome, Dutch paintings of the Golden Age, Georgian London, the Paris salon, and the impact of the discovery of the South Pacific.

Useful book of art history essays
So much of what we think as the normal was born in this era and we are still trying to move on from this period to the next stage.
The struggling artist, a (male) genius who paints his emotions and teeters on the edge of madness, is still the image.
That this image was born out of the commercialisation of art through public exhibitions, art dealers, critics and a competitive market is probably less known about.
