Descrição:
Hardback. New. British artists and commentators in the late 18th and early 19th century encoded the twin aspirations of progress and power in images and descriptions of Southeast Asia's ruined Hindu and Buddhist candis, pagodas, wats and monuments. To the British eye, images of the remains of past civilisations allowed, indeed stimulated, philosophical meditations on the rise and decline of entire empires. Ruins were witnesses to the fall, humbling and disturbingly prophetic, (and so revealing more about British attitudes than they do about Southeast Asia's cultural remains). This important study of a highly appealing but relatively neglected body of work adds multiple dimensions to the history of art and image production in Britain of the period, showing how the anxieties of empire were encoded in the genre of landscape paintings and prints.

Descrição:
Singapore: NUS Press, 2016. Hardcover. New/new. Although a first glance at the main title might suggest that Sarah Tiffin's book is another appraisal of Southeast Asia after World War II, her subject is, in fact, the attitude of Europeans colonisers to the ruins of previous civilizations which they came across in the Far East, whether at Angkor, Bali or elsewhere. These abandoned monuments often tended to prompt the new arrivals, themselves in the heyday of empire, to philosophise on the acquisition and loss of power. 302 pages with many illustrations.
