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. 504 Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 Ko and Yang and the Mission française de Pékin -- The landscape of fact and fantasy -- Constructing an authentic China -- The Confucian scholar of Enlightenment France. 600 10 Bertin, Henri-Léonard-Jean-Baptiste, |d1719-1792 |xKnowledge |xChina. 600 17 Bertin, Henri-Léonard-Jean-Baptiste, |d1719-1792. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00390902 651 0 France |xRelations |zChina. 651 0 China |xRelations |zFrance. 651 0 France |xIntellectual life |y18th century. 651 0 China |xForeign public opinion, French. 650 7 Intellectual life. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 International relations. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00977053 650 7 Public opinion, French. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01354110 651 7 China. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01206073 651 7 France. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204289 648 7 1700-1799 |2fast 776 08 |iOnline version:Finlay, John R. |tHenri Bertin and the representation of China in eighteenth-century France |dNew York : Routledge, 2020 |z9781315467368 |w(DLC) 2020007689 830 0 Routledge research in art history 902 ram |bl |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20210405 904 ram |bo |hm |cb |e20210405 910 |cF0501mon 914 (OCoLC)on1142379012 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240508 |eprocessed |f1142379012 960 |o1 |zUSD 961 |fMJH |m311010 |nCloth 980 |i160.00 982 |cf 984 20210209 |b141341 |cYBP-US
