This question, which preoccupied Enlightenment thinkers, also emerged as a key theme in depictions of animals in eighteenth-century art. This book examines the ways in which painters such as Chardin, as well as sculptors, porcelain modelers, and other decorative designers portrayed animals as sensing subjects who physically confirmed the value of material experience. The sensual style known today as the Rococo encouraged the proliferation of animals as exemplars of empirical inquiry, ranging from the popular subject of the monkey artist to the alchemical wonders of the life-sized porcelain animals created for the Saxon court. Examining writings on sensory knowledge by La Mettre, Condillac, Diderot and other philosophers side by side with depictions of the animal in art, Cohen argues that artists promoted the animal as a sensory subject while also validating the material basis of their own professional practice"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Animals in art. 650 0 $a Senses and sensation in art. 650 0 $a Animals $x Symbolic aspects $z Europe. 650 0 $a Art, European $y 18th century $x Themes, motives. 650 7 $a Animals in art $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00809573 650 7 $a Animals $x Symbolic aspects $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00809551 650 7 $a Art, European $x Themes, motives $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00816264 650 7 $a Senses and sensation in art $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01112589 651 7 $a Europe $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Cohen, Sarah R., 1957- $t Enlightened animal in eighteenth-century art $d New York : Bloomsbury Visual Arts, 2021 $z 9781350203594 $w (DLC) 2020037771 830 0 $a Material culture of art and design. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317025231.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B232BDA6CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
