Hersilia’s Sisters [PDF ebook] 
Jacques-Louis David, Women, and the Emergence of Civil Society in Post-Revolution France

الدعم

Political and cultural history and the arts combine in this engaging account of 1790s France. In 1799, when the French artist Jacques-Louis David (1748 1825) exhibited his Intervention of the Sabines, a history painting featuring the ancient heroine Hersilia, he added portraits of two contemporary women on either side of her Henriette de Verninac, daughter of Charles-Francois Delacroix, minister of foreign affairs, and Juliette Recamier, a well-known and admired socialite. Drawing on many disciplines, Norman Bryson explains how such a combination of paintings could reveal the underlying nature of the Directoire, the period between the vicious and near-dictatorial Reign of Terror (1793 94) and the coup in 1799 that brought Napoleon to power. Hersilia s Sisters illuminates ways that cultural life and civil society were rebuilt during these years through an extraordinary efflorescence of women pioneers in every cultural domain literature, the stage, opera, moral philosophy, political theory, painting, popular journalism, and fashion. Through a close examination of David s work between The Intervention of the Sabines (begun in 1796) and Bonaparte Crossing the Alps (begun in 1800), Bryson explores how the flowering of women s culture under the Directoire became a decisive influence on David s art. With more than 150 illustrations, this book provides new and brilliant insight into this period that will captivate readers.
