"This is an in-depth study of the intellectual, technical, and artistic encounters
between Europe and China in the late eighteenth century, focusing on the purposeful
acquisition of information and images that characterized a direct engagement with
the idea of "China." 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"
