HASKELL Francis - Rediscoveries in Art: Some Aspects of Taste, Fashion and Collecting in England and France

London, Phaidon 1976 x, 246pp, 255 bw illustrations. 27x21, grey cloth, illustrated dw. Good in similar dw. Fascinating study of the changing nature of taste during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: what led to the enthusiastic 'rediscovery' of previously overlooked artists like Vermeer and El Greco, while others previously highly regarded like Guido Reni were ejected from the canon? Haskell's exploration of the role not just of critics like Ruskin but the impacts of dealers and collectors, scholars and curators.
