Résumé:

"In this book, Patricia Mainardi presents a new analysis of the major shift in nineteenth-century art from large public to small private works by examining the political and institutional factors taht were in effect. Mainardi brings to life the complex institutional world of official art in the mid-to late-nineteenth century, presenting the relevant individual personalities, group interests, conflicts, and shifts in policy with clarity and detail."--Jacket.
