This work meticulously explores the evolution and significance of modern art beginning from the 18th century, highlighting key figures and movements that shaped its development. The text likely addresses the transition of painting from the traditional notions dominated by church and aristocracy to a more bourgeois-led narrative and aesthetic. The opening of the book sets the stage for this in-depth exploration by analyzing the new social and cultural dynamics that accompanied the rise of modern painting. Muther introduces the historical context of England, positioning it as a pioneer in modern art, largely due to its middle-class development. He emphasizes the influence of contemporary life on English literature and art, showcasing how figures like William Hogarth embodied this shift toward a more realistic depiction of everyday life and society, contrasting with the idealism of previous eras. The introduction prepares readers for a comprehensive study of pivotal artists and how their works reflect the complexities and variances of modern life and culture.
