Darius A. Spieth’s inquiry into Revolutionary Paris and the Market for Netherlandish Art reveals the dominance of “Golden Age” pictures in the artistic discourse and sales transactions before, during, and after the French Revolution. A broadly based statistical investigation, undertaken as part of this study, shows that the upheaval reduced prices for Netherlandish paintings by about 55% compared to the Old Regime, and that it took until after the July Revolution of 1830 for art prices to return where they stood before 1789.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is an important addition to the literature on the art market in Paris, covering a new area of the subject and linking the taste for Dutch and Flemish paintings of the eighteenth century to that of the later-nineteenth.\"  Adriana Turpin, The Society for the History of Collecting, July 2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements Foreword  Marc Fumaroli List of Illustrations A Note on Currencies  1 From Eyesores to Blue Chip Art  Origins of the Parisian Marketplace for Netherlandish  Painting  Art Publications and the Dissemination of Information  France as International Tastemaker for Golden Age Art  After 1740  Royal Collections and Northern Masters, 1777–1792  The Twilight of the Auction Business, 1775–1825  The Fate of Golden Age Art Under Terror and Inflation  The Louvre and the “Artistic Conquests” in Belgium and the Netherlands  The Post-Revolutionary Market for Netherlandish Art  The Expanding Mass Market for Copies and the Rise of the Bourgeoisie  Golden Age Art and Popular Culture  Netherlandish versus Italian Art  The Parisian Apartment – a Bourgeois Space for Art  2 On the Art of Surviving the Revolution: Jean-Baptiste Pierre Lebrun  Art Dealer to the Ancien Régime’s Elite, 1776–1789  Painful Adjustments, 1789–1795  Co-Conspirator of Jacques-Louis David, 1792–1794  From The Ministry of Finance to the Louvre, 1794–1799  A Long Good-Bye from the Louvre, 1799–1803  A Difficult Comeback as Dealer-Expert, 1801–1804  Deceptions of the Napoleonic Age, 1807–1813  3 A Long Good Bye to the Palais Royal: The Northern Pictures in the   Orléans Collection  The Art Collections in the Palais Royal until 1780  Inside the Art Deal of the Century  The Netherlandish Pictures of the Palais Royal Collection  A Look Inside the Galeries De Bois  4 Liberty’s Toll on Beauty’s Price  Myths and Realities of the Parisian Auction Market in the 1790s  Turnover of the Parisian Art Auction Market and its Economic Context, ca. 1775–1850  The Evolution of Prices for Netherlandish Art in Revolutionary Paris  Bidding Wars: The Picture Trade with Great Britain  The “Guilty Industry” and Netherlandish Art  5 Netherlandish Art in France: A History of Taste and Money across   Three Centuries  Poussinists versus Rubenists  The Marquis D’argens and Academic Prejudices Against  Northern Art  The Re-Evaluation of Netherlandish Aesthetics from David to Thoré  The Politicization of Nehterlandish Art in the Nineteenth Century  Class, Taste, and the First Art Price Rankings  Appendix Bibliography Photograph Credits Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210698809687,"sku":"9789004336988","price":116.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/revolutionary-paris-and-the-market-for-netherlandish-art-9789004336988","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
