Antoine Chrysostome Quatremere de Quincy (1755-1849) was the most
important Neoclassical art historian in the generation after Johann
Joachim Winckelmann (1717-1768). It is difficult now to appreciate
his importance, due in part to the lack of translations of his 21
published books: three were rendered into English in the 19th
century, and one in the 21st. The Moral Considerations has long
been considered the most shattering polemic against public museums
ever written. But I will show that Quatremere's polemic was aimed,
not against museums per se, but rather against the imperialist and
secularist curatorial purposes of Parisian museums in the age of
Revolution. His Neoclassical commitments maintained the centrality
of religion, and of incarnation, to any proper understanding of the
place and purpose of the fine arts.
