Diderot’s Art Criticism in Its 1765 Context
This volume brings together Diderot’s account of the 1765 Salon and his notes on painting, presenting art criticism alongside reflections on the ideas and circumstances surrounding artistic representation. Its subjects include works by Fragonard, Joseph Vernet, and Hubert Robert, with discussions touching on invention and convention, nature and culture, and the relationship between artistic achievement and economic reality. Introductory material and annotations by John Goodman clarify references to Parisian culture; Thomas Crow’s introduction supplies historical and art-historical context. The collection therefore offers both Diderot’s responses to particular works and a broader view of the questions that informed his writing about art.
