E-book LexArt Words for Painting (France, Germany, England, The Netherlands, 1600-1750)
The chronological and geographical limitations of this explorationof the terms and notions were justified by the growing importance,in both number and diversity, of the publications on art in NorthernEurope from 1600 onwards, and more particularly from 1604, the yearof publication of Karel Van Mander’sHet Schilder-Boeckuntil 1750,a moreflexible date depending on the countries studied. This datemarked a significant transformation in what can be called art theory,as well as its mutation into aesthetics (Ästhetik), a term used at thattime by Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten.1We focused on the writingspublished to the north of the Alps. On the one hand, German, Dutchand English texts and, to a lesser degree, French texts have been thesubject of less study. On the other, the research carried out on Italiantexts has been considerable and has often served as the basis for ourcurrent view of art theory. But this theory has too often been studiedthrough the prism of these Italian texts, making it important to revisitthem, revealing that they are often inadequate. As no works on arttheory, and no translations, were published in the Baltic countries orEastern Europe within the chronological limits that we set, they werenot included in our study.
