Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book features a speech given in 1859 by Robert C Winthrop in support of the erection of an equestrian statue of George Washington in Boston. The speech is framed around a conversation between Winthrop and British statesman Colonel Isaac Barrà 84 years prior, in which Barrà warns against cultivating extravagant tastes, believing them to be ruinous to nations. Winthrop agrees with Barrà that luxury can indeed be dangerous, but argues that supporting the fine arts is not incompatible with preserving liberty. He discusses how America can support the fine arts without endangering its republican values, drawing upon historical examples and perspectives from ancient Greece. The book offers insights into the relationship between art, patriotism, and the preservation of national ideals.
