Funded Activity Summary

Art and Amusement in Eighteenth-Century France. My aim is to produce an interpretive study analysing the role of amusement within the visual culture of eighteenth-century France. By reconnecting the aesthetic theory of the Enlightenment with the diverting qualities of rococo art, the project demonstrates the serious side of play during the Old Regime. Not only will the project provide fresh critical perspectives on French art, the Enlightenment and the origins of aesthetic theory; it will also offer a new model for recovering processes of reception and indicate how visual experiences contribute to the production of culture.
