Abstract
Landscape painting and the theories of pictorial representation related to it exerted a considerable influence on the transformation of the idea of imitation of nature in 18th century literature. This essay attempts to consider the change from a merely imitative practice into a decisively fictionalised, antihermeneutical form of natural representation. For examples it draws on theoretical treatises and the specific issues of idyllic poetry.
