In her wide-ranging and richly illustrated book, Tili Boon Cuillé questions the accuracy of this narrative by investigating the fate of the marvelous in the age of reason. Exploring the affinities between the natural sciences and the fine arts, Cuillé examines the representation of natural phenomena - whether harmonious or discordant - in natural history, painting, opera, and the novel from Buffon and Rameau to Ossian and Stal. She demonstrates that philosophical, artistic, and emotional responses to the 'spectacle of nature' in eighteenth-century France included wonder, enthusiasm, melancholy, and the 'sentiment of divinity.'Stanford scholarship online.Nature (Aesthetics)Nature in artNature in literatureScience and the artsFranceHistory18th centuryArt and natural historyFranceHistory18th centuryPhilosophy of natureFranceHistory18th centuryEnlightenmentFranceEnthusiasm.Illusion.Imagination.Marvelous.Melancholy.Memory.Opera.Spectacle of Nature.Sublime.Wonder.Nature (Aesthetics)Nature in art.Nature in literature.Science and the artsHistoryArt and natural historyHistoryPhilosophy of natureHistoryEnlightenment700.108094409033Cuillé Tili Boon1098685StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910746986303321Divining nature3573952UNINA
