French painting of Louis XV's reign (1723-1774), generally categorized by the term rococo, has typically been understood as an artistic style aimed at furnishing courtly society with delightful images of its own frivolous pursuits. Instead, this book shows the significance and seriousness underpinning the notion of pleasure embedded in eighteenth-century history painting. During this time, pleasure became a moral ideal grounded not only in domestic life but also defining a range of social, political, and cultural transactions oriented toward transforming and improving society at large. History, painting, and the seriousness of pleasure in the age of Louis XV reconsiders the role of history painting in creating a new visual language that presented peace and happiness as an individual's natural rights in the aftermath of Louis XIV's bellicose reign (1643-1715). In this new study, Susanna Caviglia reinvestigates the artistic practices of an entire generation of painters born around 1700 (e.g., Francois Boucher, Charles-Joseph Natoire, and Carle Vanloo) in order to highlight the cultural forces at work within their now iconic images. -- Publisher.

« Sentiment d’inquiétude que l’âme éprouve à la présence ou à la pensée du danger » telle est la définition de la peur donnée par le Grand Dictionnaire universel du XIXe siècle de Pierre Larousse. Ouvert dans les années 1970, le dossier de la peur, « composante majeure de l’expérience humaine », s’attachait principalement à la fin de l’époque médiévale et à l’époque moderne. Il méritait donc d’être revisité et poursuivi à un moment où les sondages auscultent les arrière-pensées et tentent de dévoiler les angoisses du présent et celles de l’avenir. Pour les lexicographes et les spécialistes de la psychologie, la peur est d’abord « l’ennemie intime » des hommes et des femmes isolées ou vivant en collectivité. Mais tout le monde n’est pas accessible de la même manière à la peur. Des sociétés peuvent y succomber toute entière, d’autres y faire face. La peur, « sentiment universel » peut être réelle, provoquée par une menace attestée, mais elle peut aussi être imaginée et susciter davantage d’incertitude et d’angoisse que les peurs effectives face à un risque connu. Les peurs connaissent de multiples nuances et degrés et ne sont pas immuables. Elles fonctionnent souvent par cycle. La perception d’un danger et les craintes plus ou moins vives suscitées peuvent surgir brusquement, disparaître et resurgir. Pour aborder ce vaste territoire, les expressions, les perceptions et les effets ont été privilégiés à partir de quatre entrées : les images et les mots relatifs à la peur ; les peurs suscitées par les éléments déchaînés ; les peurs sociales et l’effroi suscité par une situation ou une catégorie ; et enfin les peurs publiques allant de la frayeur face la guerre civile à l’anxiété devant les populations flottantes représentées par les mendiants.
