Book Synopsis
The French Republic - with its rallying cry for liberty, equality, and fraternity - emerged in 1870, and by 1880 had developed a coherent republican ideology. This book examines the use of naturalism in the 19th century. It also explores how pictures by artists such as Roll, Lhermitte, and Friant could be read as egalitarian and republican.
