University of Delaware Press Epic Landscapes: Benjamin Henry Latrobe and the
Book SynopsisEpic Landscapes is the first study devoted to architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe’s substantial artistic oeuvre from 1795, when he set sail from Britain to Virginia, to late 1798, when he relocated to Pennsylvania. Thus, this book offers the only extended consideration of Latrobe’s Virginian watercolors, including a series of complex trompe l’oeil studies and three significant illustrated manuscripts. Though Latrobe’s architecture is well known, his watercolors have received little critical attention. Epic Landscapes rediscovers Latrobe’s watercolors as an ambitious body of work and reconsiders the close relationship between the visual and spatial sensibility of these images and his architectural designs. It also offers a fresh analysis of Latrobe within the context of creative practice in the Atlantic world at the end of the eighteenth century as he explored contemporary ideas concerning the form of art for Republican society and the social impacts of revolution. Published by University of Delaware Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.Trade Review"Such a reconstruction of a richer context for Latrobe’s choice of watercolor only reiterates his isolation in these years, and the solitary, introspective quality of his work that Sienkewicz analyzes so well. She understands the private, intensely personal quality of his images, even the ones intended to impress potential clients, and how they served as therapy for Latrobe at a time when he was underemployed, frustrated, confused, and depressed." "Reading many of these images as soul-searching, aspirational, self-promoting, and fanciful, Sienkewicz explores a rare mind at work. Her book opens new insights into a complex man whose mind, as revealed in his watercolors, expressed the creative turmoil of an artist determined to shape the painted as well as the built landscape of the United States." * Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide *Table of ContentsAtlantic purgatory Latrobe in a European contextA solitary traveler in the American woodsLearning to read the stonesStage tricks for landscape Performing spacesCastles in the air Illusions of selfhood
