Arnold Noach talks about the French eighteenth-century architect Jacques-Francois Blondel , leading spirit in the battle of the austere new classicism of the 1750s against unregenerate rococo. This battle of the styles found its expression in a now little-known novel by Blondel, which shows the Man of Taste wooed by two lady loves.
