Description

Explore the evolution of French memorial culture through this scholarly study from Routledge. This book examines how France developed a new formal language for its nation through funerary projects, spanning the period from 1750 to 1870. While many studies focus only on sculpture, this work provides a broader perspective by including architecture and landscape within the discussion of material funerary arts. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how tombs served as more than just monuments. The text examines the connection between sculptural works, the tomb cult, and the specific mentalities that shaped these practices in France. It offers a fresh look at famous modern sculptures that are often overlooked as funerary projects, providing a complete view of how the living interacted with the dead during this transformative era.
