内容简介

　　"Em360百科pire to Nation" offers a new consideration of the image of the sea in British visual cultur元e during a critical period for both the rise of the visual arts in Britain and the expansion of the nation's imperial power. It argues that maritime 式矿米imagery was central to cultivating a sense of nationhood in relation to rapidly expan响ding geographical knowledge and burgeoning imperial ambition. At the same time, the growth of the maritime empire presented new opport意沉建强怎unities for artistic enterprise. Taking as its starting point the year 1768, which marks the foundation of the Royal Academy and the launch of Captain Cook's first circu承不mnavigat区常质理细探这真迫亲附ion, it asserts that this was not just an interesting coincidence but symptomatic o菜f the relation古班间ship between art and empire. This relationship was officially sanctioned in the establishment of the Naval Gal征职lery at Greenwich Hospital and the installat院货协束手ion there of J. M. W. Turner's great Battle of Trafalgar in 1829, the year that 互流业里closes this study. Between the事帝前看角况se two poles, the book traces a changing historical discourse that informed visual representation of maritime subjects.
