Publisher Description: With this widely acclaimed work, Fried revised the way in which eighteenth-century French painting and criticism were viewed and understood. A reinterpretation supported by immense learning and by a series of brilliantly perceptive readings of paintings and criticism alike. . . . An exhilarating book.--John Barrell, London Review of Books |
