This is an in-depth study of the intellectual, technical, and
artistic encounters between Europe and China in the late eighteenth
century, focusing on the purposeful acquisition of information and
images that characterized a direct engagement with the idea of
"China." The central figure in this story is Henri-Leonard Bertin
(1720-1792), who served as a minister of state under Louis XV and,
briefly, Louis XVI. Both his official position and personal passion
for all things Chinese placed him at the center of intersecting
networks of like-minded individuals who shared his ideal vision of
China as a nation from which France had much to learn. John Finlay
examines a fascinating episode in the rich history of
cross-cultural exchange between China and Europe in the early
modern period, and this book will be an important and timely
contribution to a very current discussion about Sino-French
cultural relations. This book will be of interest to scholars in
art history, visual culture, European and Chinese history.
