Abstract
We cite from the COVER:
" Today's book buyer takes for granted that art books will be illustrated with quality full-color reproductions of famous masterpieces. Yet, it was only in the eighteenth century that they began to be illustrated for the first time. In Picturing Art History, Ingrid R. Vermeulen investigates the role that illustrations played in the emergence of the field of art history, arguing that the use of prints and drawings collections by such scholars as Giovanni Bottari, Johann Winckelmann and Jean-Baptiste Seroux d'Agincourt was inextricably bound up with the belief that the artistic past should not be pictured as a history of artists, but as a history of art."
