Bemerkung:

(= Clarendon Studies in the History of Art). - U.a. über Zusammenhänge zwischen Landschaftsmalerei und Geologie. - In englischer Sprache. - "The study is the first to consider the relationship beteween the history of German landscape painting and the history of geology. It is no coincidence that the decades now judged to be the golden age of geology also constituted the age of Romanticism: 1780-1830. The sentiments which influenced artists during this period meant that mountains, trees, sky, and clouds were far more than symbols or potential allegories; such natural phenomena were believed to have exerted a direct influence on cultural history. [...] Timothy F. Michell shows how German landscape painting reflected both in image and style the radical upheavals taking place in intellectual history during the decades 1770-1840" (Klappentext). - Provenienz: Bibliothek des Kunsthistorikers und Museumsdirektors Ernst-Gerhard Güse (1944-2023; Nachlassexlibris auf dem vorderen Spiegel). - Der Schutzumschlag gering gebräunt und etwas angerändert; sonst und insgesamt gutes Exemplar.
