Making Ideas Visible in the Eighteenth Century

Herausgeber: Milam, Jennifer; Parsons, Nicola

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume considers how ideas were made visible through the making of art and visual experience occasioned by reception during the long eighteenth century. Through a consideration of the material formation of concepts, this book explores questions that are implicated by the need to see ideas in painted, sculpted, illustrated, and designed forms. In doing so, it introduces new visual materials and novel conceptual models into traditional accounts of the intellectual history of the Enlightenment.
