The central figure in this story is Henri-Leonard Bertin (1720-1792), who served as a minister of state under Louis XV and, briefly, Louis XVI. Both his official position and personal passion for all things Chinese placed him at the center of intersecting networks of like-minded individuals who shared his ideal vision of China as a nation from which France had much to learn. John Finlay examines a fascinating episode in the rich history of cross-cultural exchange between China and Europe in the early-modern period, and this book will be an important and timely contribution to a very current discussion about Sino-French cultural relations. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, visual culture, and European history"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Ko and Yang and the Mission francʹaise de Pekin -- The landscape of fact and fantasy -- Constructing an authentic China -- The Confucian scholar of Enlightenment France. 600 10 $a Bertin, Henri-Leonard-Jean-Baptiste, $d 1719-1792 $x China. $x China. 600 17 $a Bertin, Henri-Leonard-Jean-Baptiste, $d 1719-1792. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00390902 651 0 $a France $x Relations $z China. 651 0 $a China $x Relations $z France. 651 0 $a France $x Intellectual life $y 18th century. 651 0 $a China $x Foreign public opinion, French. 650 7 $a Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 $a International relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977053 650 7 $a Public opinion, French. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354110 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Finlay, John R. $t Henri Bertin and the representation of China in eighteenth-century France $d New York : Routledge, 2020 $z 9781315467368 $w (DLC) 2020007689 830 0 $a Routledge research in art history. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317015555.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=93CF2B5A403511EB87AA299C42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
