| Abstract | "In On the Ideal in the Pictorial Arts, Quatremere de Quincy offers one of the most detailed treatments of mimesis since Aristotle. He defends the practice of ideal imitation against the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century predilection for real imitation and highlights the imagination's contribution to ideal imitation"-- Provided by publisher. |
