Resumen de The Netherlandish vogue and print culture in Paris, 1730-50
The writer highlights the five interrelated phenomena that were instrumental in shaping the popularity of Dutch and Flemish prints in 18th-century France: the theoretical foundations established by Antoine Coypel and backed by Dezallier d'Argenville, the Comte de Caylus, and Charles-Nicolas Cochin; art news published in the Mercure de France; an album of prints known as the Cabinet Boyer d'Aguilles, published by Pierre-Jean Mariette; the formation of early collections of paintings in Paris; and evidence to indicate a broader cultural significance for single-plate editions issued to the public by Jean Moyreau and Jean-Baptiste le Bas, whose prints of the 1730s and 1740s reflect nascent collecting patterns in the formation of the Netherlandish vogue.
