| 2. What are the advantages/deficits of
visual mediation of events and concepts in this period? Can images
provide knowledge that is distinctive and different from textual
sources? How do images either correspond with or differ from their
textual commentary? What does this reveal about the combination of
image and text? Can representations by their nature capture popular
attitudes? Are inherent male/female upper class/popular class tensions
either captured or effaced in these images? |

Just
one comment on Barbara’s fine observations: Prieur’s “Intendant Bertier
de Sauvigny” image was not engraved and included
in the Tableaux historiques prints offered for sale to
the public. The reason for its exclusion could hardly
have been artistic; this is one of Prieur’s finest drawings.
Insofar as I have been able to tell we don’t know why
the decision was made not to have the illustration engraved,
but what seems to me to make sense is how Prieur rendered
the scene he depicted. A well-off audience might not
have been receptive to the grim scene and its macabre
humor, as portrayed by Prieur. The exclusion of this
image surely tells us something about the production
of images and the market for which they were intended. |
