It is difficult now to appreciate his importance, due in part to the lack of translations of his 21 published books: three were rendered into English in the 19th century, and one in the 21st. The Moral Considerations has long been considered the most shattering polemic against public museums ever written. But I will show that Quatremère’s polemic was aimed, not against museums per se, but rather against the imperialist and secularist curatorial purposes of Parisian museums in the age of Revolution. His Neoclassical commitments maintained the centrality of religion, and of incarnation, to any proper understanding of the place and purpose of the fine arts.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 227mmItem Length: 163mmItem Width: 17mmItem Weight: 399gBook Series: Studies in Body and ReligionRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
