520 _a"The History of Modern Painting, Volume 2" by Richard Muther is an art historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume of a four-part series explores the evolution of modern painting, particularly focusing on developments and artistic movements up to the end of the 19th century. The book delves into various styles and influential artists during a transformative period in art history, highlighting the dynamic relationship between art and contemporary society. The opening of the volume presents a critical view of the initial detachment of modern painting from ordinary life and its reliance on historical and classical themes. Muther examines how the art of the early 19th century, particularly in France, Germany, and England, often maintained a distance from the present reality, favoring classical references over modern subjects. He discusses notable artists and their works, such as David and Delacroix, pointing out the shortcomings in capturing contemporary life. The section also emphasizes the role of caricaturists and draughtsmen who began to integrate modern life into their art, representing the societal dynamics and individual experiences of their times.
