Abstract

AbstractThis article reviews studies in the visual arts of the eighteenth century, with an emphasis on recent interest in display and reception. The exhibition ‘Art on the Line’, at the Courtauld Institute in 2001, is taken as the starting‐point for scholarship that has addressed the spaces and topographies of display, institutional, commercial and domestic, and the new publics constituted by and in these arenas. Of particular concern is how dominant narratives of eighteenth‐century art have been modified and reinforced by attendance to these issues as well as by studies focused on its relationship to commerce, trade, war and empire.
