What is Painterly Enlightenment: The Art of Franz Anton Maulbertsch, 1724-1796 (Bettie Allison Rand Lectures in Art History) about?

Franz Anton Maulbertsch (1724-1796) Was An Austrian Fresco Painter Known For His Bold Use Of Color. Although He Has Been Recognized In The Central European Regions Where He Worked, Maulbertsch Has Remained Outside The General Canon Of Art History. With Painterly Enlightenment, Thomas Dacosta Kaufmann Recovers The Story Of Maulbertsch, Offering The Most Comprehensive English-language Study Of This Long-neglected Artist. Kaufmann's Analysis Provides A Thorough Foundation For The Recovery Of One Of The Great Painters Of Eighteenth-century Europe, A Colorist Worthy Of Comparison To The Best Of His Contemporaries, Including The Celebrated Venetian Artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Kaufmann Situates Maulbertsch As A Fresco Painter At A Time Of Transition To Easel Painting, A Colorist At A Time When Color Was Not Fully Appreciated By Contemporary Observers, And An Interpreter Of Religious Themes At A Time When Secular Subjects Were Becoming More Popular. Although He Has Been Dismissed As An Eccentric By Previous Scholars, Kaufmann's Analysis Shows Maulbertsch Involved In The Intellectual And Aesthetic Issues Of His Day.--jacket.
