Classic Ground: Mid-nineteenth-century American Painting And The Italian Encounter

Editorial Reviews Book Description This illustrated book accompanies a small, scholarly exhibition that includes paintings culled from the permanent collection at the Georgia Museum of Art and borrowed from institutions and galleries across the country, created by American artists as a result of their mid-19th-century Italian travels within a "Grand Tour." Thomas Cole, Martin Johnson Heade, Albert Bierstadt, Jasper Francis Cropsey, and other American painters created a body of work featuring Italian landscapes, people, buildings, and life. Classic Ground situates American paintings with Italian subject matter, in the context of antebellum and Reconstruction era politics, gender, ideology, religion, and popular culture.
