Description: History, Painting, and the Seriousness of Pleasure in the Age of Louis XV, Paperback by Caviglia, Susanna, ISBN 1789620392, ISBN-13 9781789620399, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Art historians have typically understood the "rococo" French painting of Louis XV's (1723-74) reign as an artistic style aimed at furnishing courtly society with delightful images of its own frivolous pursuits, says Caviglia. She challenges this view by showing the significance and seriousness underpinning the notion of pleasure that 18th-century history painting depicted. Pleasure became a moral ideal during this period, she says, not only grounded in domestic life, but also defining a range of social, political, and cultural transactions oriented toward transforming and improving society at large.
