Abstract (en)

Sets out to examine one recurrent pattern within the language used by British art critics, artists and connoisseurs when attacking broadly-handled landscape paintings ca.1770-1830, with particular reference to the early decades of the 19th c. Considers the use of this perjorative vocabulary in relation to issues of taste, decorum, ethics and society.
