Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, Date: 1996. Hardcover. Good+ (Boards and textblock are very lightly edgeworn/scuffed/smudged; interior is clean; binding is solid.)/Good+ (DJ is lightly edgeworn/scuffed/smudged.). White cloth over boards with gilt lettering on the spine; black DJ with illustration and brown and white lettering; xv, 255 pp.; richly illustrated. "By the time of Ernest Meissonier's death in 1891, he was among the most famous painters of the nineteenth century. Delacroix, for instance, had hailed him as the "incontestable master of our epoch" and had felt that Meissonier's posthumous reputation would be greater than his own. But Meissonier's renown quickly vanished, and to modernist critics his oeuvre, composed largely of genre and battle paintings, seemed of little value. This provocative study of emulation contests the modernist critique and discloses a new aspect of Meissonier and French Salon painters in general: many of these artists attempted the ultimately impossible task of remaining loyal to their teachers and other predecessors while at the same time escaping their influence...Using new approaches from art history, literature, and psychoanalysis, The Plight of Emulation offers not only an intellectual biography of an extremely talented artist but also a wide-ranging picture of a fascinating era in European cultural history and a convincing analysis of the final impasse of the French Salon."-- Jacket. 1996.
