Synopsis "Quatremère de Quincy's Moral Considerations on the Place and Purpose of Works of Art: Introduction and Translation"
Antoine Chrysostome Quatremère de Quincy (1755-1849) was the most important Neoclassicalart historian in the generation after Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717-1768). It is difficultnow to appreciate his importance, due in part to the lack of translations of his 21 publishedbooks: three were rendered into English in the 19th century, and one in the 21st. The MoralConsiderations has long been considered the most shattering polemic against public museumsever written. But I will show that Quatremère's polemic was aimed, not against museums per se, but rather against the imperialist and secularist curatorial purposes of Parisian museums in theage of Revolution. His Neoclassical commitments maintained the centrality of religion, and ofincarnation, to any proper understanding of the place and purpose of the fine arts.
