520 "This is an in-depth study of the intellectual, technical,
and artistic encounters between Europe and China in the
late eighteenth century, focusing on the purposeful
acquisition of information and images that characterized a
direct engagement with the idea of "China." The central
figure in this story is Henri-Léonard 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"--|cProvided by publisher
