Diderot's Thoughts on Art and Style: With Some of His Shorter Essays

Description: This classic collection spans Diderot's wide-ranging artistic and philosophical examinations. Exploring Diderot's preoccupation with nature as the true teacher, it features his influential writings on painting and sculpture, alongside essays on his own portrait painted by Van Loo, a tale from the life of St. Gregory, and a depiction of Cossack and Tartar troops dividing their spoil. Diderot's reflections encompass the nature of beauty, the morality of men and beasts, the importance of unity in composition, and the profound influence of an artist's temperament on their work. Ultimately, this book underscores Diderot's significance as a leading figure in the shift from classical to romantic aesthetics, and his role in forging a new democratic sensibility.
