Neoclassicism was the favourite style of both Napoleon and Thomas
Jefferson, and made Josiah Wedgwood's fortune. The most pervasive style
in the history of European art, it was deployed in the design of houses,
churches, museums, banks, shops and items of daily use ranging from
teapots to textiles. This book is the first to embrace all
manifestations of the style, not only its broad territorial scope, but
also its versatility in every branch of art.
