Talk by Anthony Blunt
Diderot invented the art of reviewing exhibitions of painting, and from 1759 to 1781 he regularly wrote to his friend Grimm accounts of the Salon in which he set forth his ideas on painting and a number of other subjects not always very closely related to it. Anthony Blunt imagines what Diderot's reactions might be if he were to visit the exhibition of French landscape at Burlington House.
