This well-illustrated and -written volume should be included in every academic art library. -- Library Journal, "This is a highly innovative book. It does not merely evaluate the influence of war on artists or the artist's own conception of war, but integrates the image into an understanding of the history of warfare. Paintings and prints are analyzed both as texts and as works of art. Surely this book is important methodologically as well as [being] a substantial and exciting contribution to the history of warfare." -- George L.

Synopsis
For thousands of years, art has interpreted the experience of war--its methods, human costs, and moral ambiguities--and has offered historians a wealth of testimony that is only beginning to be systematically explored. In this wide-ranging study, Peter Paret discusses forty-seven paintings and prints as complex documents of war in Europe since the Renaissance and as examples of the artist's use of war as a metaphor for the human condition. The images include works by such major artists as Uccello, Gericault, and Dix as well as academic history paintings and popular prints. By setting each in its historical environment and analyzing it from the perspective of the wars of its time, illuminates the place of war in Western consciousness and expands our understanding of works that are too often approached with little concern for the reality they depict or symbolically transform. Perhaps the most significant of the themes he traces over five centuries is the gradual change from the prince or general to the common soldier and civilian victim as central figures in the interpretation of war in art., For thousands of years, art has interpreted the experience of war -- its methods, human costs, and moral ambiguities -- and has offered historians a wealth of testimony that is only beginning to be systematically explored.
