A propos de cet article

86 pages, illustrations (some colour), maps (some colour); 28 cm. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art June 3 to August 17, 2003. Firm binding, clean inside copy. *** "This fascinating book focuses on The Metropolitan Museum of Art's recent acquisition, The 'Kearsarge' at Boulogne, by Edouard Manet (1832-1883). During the American Civil War, when Union forces blocked Confederate ports, the Confederacy countered by waging guerrilla warfare on Union merchant shipping. One of the most skilled Confederate raiders was the sloop-of-war Alabama. On June 19, 1864, the U.S.S. Kearsarge and the C.S.S. Alabama fought off the coast of Cherbourg, France. The Alabama sank less than two hours after the first shot was fired. The battle captured the attention of the French people, and Manet, who as a teenager had served in the French navy, raced to Boulogne to see the victorious Kearsarge. He painted a depiction of the battle (which he did not witness), now in Philadelphia, as well as a portrait of the Kearsarge, now in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. This volume contains essays about the Metropolitan's picture and five additional seascapes painted by Manet in Boulogne during the summer of 1864. Related works by other artists, photographs, and newspaper articles are also included. / David Degener is a naval historian, and Juliet Wilson-Bareau is an independent Manet scholar." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Introduction: Manet's Early Experience of the Sea; The Naval Engagement; The Battle of the "Kearsarge" and the "Alabama"; The "Kearsarge" at Boulogne; Manet's 1864 Boulogne Seascapes.
