De 1745 à 1765, pendant cette brève période de vingt ans qui correspond presque exactement au " règne " de la favorite de Louis XV, madame de Pompadour, la peinture française connaît une intense créativité et une remise en question des dogmes artistiques prévalant jusqu'alors. Des débats esthétiques virulents animent la " génération Pompadour ", qui est aussi celle des Encyclopédistes. Un engouement nouveau pour la recherche historique et archéologique engendre la naissance de la critique et de l'histoire de l'art, tandis que se multiplient les salons, les mécènes et les commanditaires. En parallèle, des personnalités fortes, Fragonard, Boucher, Chardin, Greuze... développent une peinture personnelle, entre volupté et naturalisme. Au fil d'une cinquantaine de toiles signées des plus grands noms, l'ouvrage revient sur cet âge d'or. Ce livre accompagne l'exposition La Volupté du goût. La peinture française au temps de madame de Pompadour, organisée par le Portland Art Museum et le musée des Beaux-Arts de Tours sous l'égide de la fédération de musées FRAME (French Regional American Museum Exchange). Grâce à celle-ci, certaines des oeuvres les plus prestigieuses des musées américains et français ont pu être réunies. Cet ouvrage est enrichi par un CD audio d'enregistrements inédits de l'ensemble PhilidOr et d'Olivier Baumont, qui permet de retrouver l'univers musical de l'époque.

A groundbreaking approach to Rococo religious d?r and spirituality in Europe and South America, The Spiritual Rococo addresses three basic conundrums that impede our understanding of eighteenth-century aesthetics and culture. Why did the Rococo, ostensibly the least spiritual style in the pre-Modern canon, transform into one of the world?s most important modes for adorning sacred spaces? And why is Rococo still treated as a decadent nemesis of the Enlightenment when the two had fundamental characteristics in common? This book seeks to answer these questions by treating Rococo as a global phenomenon for the first time and by exploring its moral and spiritual dimensions through the lens of populist French religious literature of the day-a body of work the author calls the ?Spiritual Rococo? and which has never been applied directly to the arts. The book traces Rococo?s development from France through Central Europe, Portugal, Brazil, and South America by following a chain of interlocking case studies, whether artistic, literary, or ideological, and it also considers the parallel diffusion of the literature of the Spiritual Rococo in these same regions, placing particular emphasis on unpublished primary sources such as inventories. One of the ultimate goals of this study is to move beyond the clich?f Rococo?s frivolity and acknowledge its essential modernity. Thoroughly interdisciplinary, The Spiritual Rococo not only integrates different art historical fields in novel ways but also interacts with church and social history, literary and post-colonial studies, and anthropology, opening up new horizons in these fields.
