Samenvatting

How do pictures tell stories? This ground-breaking book analyses visual narrative in nineteenth-century history and genre paintings across Europe. It reveals how artists constructed plots via objects, managing the tension between narrative and style and prompting viewers to weave their own tales.

This ground-breaking book presents a study of pictorial narrative in nineteenth-century European painting. Covering works from France, Germany, Britain, Italy and elsewhere, Nina Lübbren traces the ways in which popular artists like Jean-Léon Gérôme, Karl von Piloty and William Quiller Orchardson used unique visual strategies to tell thrilling and engaging stories.

The artists considered produced a dazzling variety of subjects, from spectacles of death and sacrifice to cheerful tales of flirtation and schoolboy pranks. However, regardless of genre, content or national context, these paintings share a fundamentally modern narrative mode that is distinct to its time. Unlike traditional art, these pictures do not rely on textual sources. Nor do they tell stories through the human body alone. Instead, they experiment with objects, spaces, cause-and-effect relations and open-ended ambiguity. In response, viewers and reviewers became adept at reading clues in order to weave their own elaborate tales. Lübbren examines critics’ narrative language and argues that storytelling pictures had a social function, inviting audiences to engage not only with the paintings but also with reviews and each other in lively debates about the depicted plots.

Both an eloquent exploration of paintings and critics and an important essay on narratology and reception theory, this revelatory book considers a mode of art that transformed the way we experience visual narrative – a legacy that lives on in mainstream cinema.
