  With this widely acclaimed work, Fried revised the way in which eighteenth-century French painting and criticism were viewed and understood.

  A reinterpretation supported by immense learning and by a series of brilliantly perceptive readings of paintings and criticism alike. . . . An exhilarating book. --John Barrell, London Review of Books
