This original and relevant book investigates the relationship
between intellectual property and the visual arts in France from
the 16th century to the French Revolution. It charts the early
history of privilege legislation (today's copyright and patent) for
books and inventions, and the translation of its legal terms by and
for the image. Those terms are explored in their force of law and
in relation to artistic discourse and creative practice in the
early modern period. The consequences of commercially motivated law
for art and its definitions, specifically its eventual separation
from industry, are important aspects of the story. The artists who
were caught up in disputes about intellectual property ranged from
the officers of the Academy down to the lowest hacks of Grub
Street. Lessons from this book may still apply in the 21st century;
with the advent of inexpensive methods of reproduction,
multiplication, and dissemination via digital channels, questions
of intellectual property and the visual arts become important once
more.
