Examines the political uses of the philosophy of history, in European art from 1777 to 1855. This book discusses a range of mural paintings and sculptural works produced in England and France between the American Revolution and the Universal Exposition of 1855, comparing the ways artists expressed cyclical histories of progress and decline.
