Abstract

Introdução

Reconhecido hoje como um dos principais fundadores da crítica da arte na França, Étienne La Font de Saint-Yenne é autor de uma obra abraçando várias décadas, valorizada entre os anos 1740-1750. Dois ensaios em particular relatam do caráter visionário do seu pensamento sobre o papel do Estado a respeito da arte. Em suas Reflexões sobre o estado da pintura na França. Com um exame das principais Obras expostas no Louvre no mês de Agosto de 1746, publicadas por Jean Neaulme, em La Haia [1747], o autor argumenta a criação de um museu acessível a todos e o compara assim a uma galeria: “construída intencionalmente no Louvre, onde todas as riquezas imensas e desconhecidas poderiam seriam ordenadas de modo a realçar sua beleza, e preservadas em seu melhor estado por um artista contratado para cuidar de sua conservação”.
