About this book

Incendiary Art: The Representation of Fireworks in Early Modern Europe (Bibliographies and Dossiers Series) by Salatino, Kevin. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780892364176.

Festivities such as those exalting the court of Louis XIV, the celebration of James IIs London coronation, and the commemoration of the peace celebrations of 1749 at The Hague culminated in dazzling pyrotechnical displays. These were in turn reproduced as prints, paintings, and narrative descriptions. This unique book examines the propagandistic and rhetorical functions these printed records came to serve as vehicles of aesthetic, cultural, and emotional significance.
