This was the time of great cultural production from the novels of Jane Austen to the poetry of Byron. The art of the day will be considered in relation to these developments and the society it was created by and for, further historical background including the Napoleonic wars will be discussed along with influential French artist such as Élizabeth Vigée-Lebrun.
