Reviews
'The cultural-historical approach to these highly aestheticised paintings, particularly in the context of the Restoration, is welcome and there is some fine visual analysis of the individual works. ... Fraser's book has much of value to say about the reception of Delacroix in the 1820s and the historical circumstances of producing, viewing, purchasing and interpreting contemporary art during the Restoration.' The Burlington Magazine, 'Fraser's book has much of value to say about the reception of Delacroix in the 1820s and the historical circumstances of producing, viewing, purchasing and interpreting contemporary art during the Restoration.' The Burlington Magazine, "Elisabeth Fraser's beautifully illustrated study of the early work of Eugene Delacroix--notably the three great paintings Dante and Virgil, Scenes from the Massacre of Chios and Death of Sardanapalus--is firmly situated in the historical context of Restoration France (1814-30)." Journal of Modern History Alan B. Spitzer, University of Iowa, 'The cultural-historical approach to these highly aestheticised paintings, particularly in the context of the Restoration, is welcome and there is some fine visual analysis of the individual works. … Fraser's book has much of value to say about the reception of Delacroix in the 1820s and the historical circumstances of producing, viewing, purchasing and interpreting contemporary art during the Restoration.' The Burlington Magazine, "An impeccably researched and cogently argued book that provides rich material for scholars in many fields." H-FRANCE, " Invigorating and original [...] Fraser's clear prose, lucid argument, and original interpretation will make her book required reading not only for scholars and students of nineteenth-century French art and its institutions, but also for those in all disciplines interested in post-revolutionary France or interdisciplinary approaches to visual and political culture." --CAA Reviews

In her analysis of post-Revolutionary French society, Fraser reveals how the family served as an important subtext in Delacroix's art as well as a political emblem in the Restoration., This book focuses on Eugène Delacroix's paintings produced during the Bourbon Restoration. Elizabeth Fraser demonstrates how these works, which include many of his best known paintings, such as The Death of Sardanapalus and Scenes from the Massacre at Chios, commented on contemporary efforts to reconcile the current political situation with the traumatic past of the French Revolution. Analyzing aspects of post-Revolutionary French society, such as social, legal and artistic constructions of inheritance and lineage, Fraser shows how the family served as an important subtext in Delacroix's art and as a political emblem in the Restoration. She also shows how private art collecting and art criticism served as forms of activist citizenship. Collectively these and other topics demonstrate that Delacroix's art was as much formed by a monarchical rule, as it was part of the resistance to it.
