Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an analysis of the decline of artistic standards in England from the 17th through the early 18th centuries. The author discusses the decline of artistic quality under Charles II, James II, William III, and Queen Anne, focusing on the deleterious effects of court patronage of foreign-born artists and the concomitant neglect of native talent. Despite increased awareness of the arts and the emergence of artistic societies in this period, the book argues that this era produced relatively few artistic works of lasting value. The book provides an in-depth look at the relationship between art and politics, the role of social and economic factors in artistic production, and the impact of the evolving artistic tastes of the English elite on the overall development of the arts during this period.
