Instead of depicting historical battles, heroic figures, or remaining faithful to political upheavals, a group of artists began to dedicate themselves to depicting the common man, his customs, clothing, and daily life, forming the foundations of what we now know as Impressionism. \u003cem\u003e*The Judgment of Paris\u003c\/em\u003e *, Ross King's vivid account of the movement's emergence and rise, explores its key events, conflicts, and central figures through a narrative replete with complex plots, storylines, and contradictory characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Judgment of Paris\u003c\/em\u003e , whose original title is a pun on the mythological beauty contest between the goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite—judged by Paris—chronicles the period between two art exhibitions: the scandalous Salon des Refusés of 1863 and the First Impressionist Exhibition of 1874. King offers a fascinating account of the interaction between artists, art juries, critics, and the general public surrounding the annual and prestigious Paris Salon and other events in the art world. The parallel careers of two radically opposite painters serve as a lens through which to understand their times: while the traditional and prestigious Ernest Meissonier valued the representation of historical moments with meticulous precision, the avant-garde Édouard Manet, with an appreciation for his own style, turned to landscapes and ordinary people, initiating a true revolution in art history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159818453244,"sku":"9788501077035","price":139.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/3308e8f4cb27c48b387c49678dc0d403.jpg?v=1778319941","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/o-julgamento-de-paris","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
