| Summary |
This book analyzes the genre subjects created by Jean Siméon Chardin in the 1730s and 1740s as exemplars of a period-specific aesthetic known as the goût moderne or Modern taste, a category shaped by the literary Quarrel of the Ancients versus the Moderns. The author historicizes the development of these genre subjects in ways that challenge the conventional view of Chardin as the exponent of bourgeois values in Enlightenment France |
