5.0 out of 5 stars excellent contextualizing art crit.
I've spent 40 yrs. in univ. teaching. I've read virtually everything Boime has published in book form, & after decades of studying art-crit. I've found Boime's work to be the single most useful, insightful, analytically informed discourse in published art-history that I've ever encountered--this judgment includes work by scholarly icons like Panofsky, too.

1.0 out of 5 stars waiting forever
Over three years ago I ordered Dr. Boime's third volume of the art series. The shipping date kept being delayed and after 2 years I cancelled the order.

This review is from: Art in an Age of Counterrevolution, 1815-1848 (A Social History of Modern Art) (Hardcover)
I've spent 40 yrs. in univ. teaching. I've read virtually everything Boime has published in book form, & after decades of studying art-crit. I've found Boime's work to be the single most useful, insightful, analytically informed discourse in published art-history that I've ever encountered--this judgment includes work by scholarly icons like Panofsky, too. The simple amount of knowledge of social & political history, & analytic acumen, that Boime appropriately & usefully brings to bear during his discussions of specific works of art is astonishing. Indeed, the books might function well as part of a profoundly historically oriented Political Science course (as opposed to the usual "Political Silence" classes delivered in U. S. schools).
