Celebrated connoisseur, drawings collector, print dealer, book
publisher and authority on the art of antiquity, Pierre-Jean
Mariette (1694-1774) was a pivotal figure in the eighteenth-century
European art world. Focusing on the trajectory of Mariette's
career, this book examines the material practices and social
networks through which connoisseurs forged the idea of art as an
object of empirical and historical analysis. Drawing on significant
unpublished archival material as well as on histories of science,
publishing, collecting and display, this book shows how Mariette
and his colleagues' practices of classification and interpretation
of the graphic arts gave rise to new conceptions of artistic
authorship and to a history of art that transcended the biographies
of individual artists. To follow Mariette's career through the
eighteenth century is to see that art was consolidated as a
specialized category of intellectual inquiry-and that style emerged
as its structuring analytic device-in the overlapping spaces of the
collector's cabinet, the connoisseur's portfolio and the dealer's
shop.
