Richard Thomson examines the intersection of French republican ideology and the visual arts during the formative decades of the Third Republic. Through a rigorous analysis of paintings, prints, and public monuments, the author demonstrates how artists navigated the complex political landscape to define the visual identity of a modern, democratic nation.
