It is the first book devoted to Delaroche since the publication of a small catalogue raisonne after the artist's death in 1856. Paul Delaroche: History Painted examines the artist's career from his earliest history paintings to his later, more experimental works that were influenced by photography. Bann's volume also offers the first detailed analysis of Delaroche's major works in teh context of the visual culture of the early nineteenth century.
