Descrizione City of Gold and Mud - Painting Victorian London
London was the quintessential modern city of the 19th century, and its artists were the first to rise to the challenge of depicting the many facets of this new world. From the 1850s to 1900, the city underwent vast changes, resulting in rapid urbanization, a dramatic increase in population, and the creation of dramatic contrasts between the gold of its wealth and splendor and the mud of its squalor and poverty. Artists sought to make sense of this novel and exciting--but often bewildering--environment in images not only of the pageantry, parks, and rituals of the city but also of its newly visible street types: minstrels and chimney sweeps, street urchins, shoe-black boys, and flower girls.
