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.

Index


“The most penetrating treatment of this important movement in any language. Profusely illustrated, beautifully produced, and a pleasure to read, The Nazarenes is at once a global analysis of these artists’ creations and aims, and a wide-ranging polemic about the field of art history today.”

—Joseph Leo Koerner, CAA.Reviews
