|
Traces the Nazarene "art of the concept" from its Romantic inception to its academic transformation in the 1830s. Arguing that the Nazarenes, despite their revivalist agenda, were a quintessentially modern movement, the book provides a revisionist understanding of modernity in nineteenth-century art.
