Epilogue

To close each of the MOOC’s forums, we have chosen to dedicate its last video to 18th century painting and the invention of art criticism as a literary genre. Diderot, tasked by his friend Grimm to comment on the biennial exhibition organised by the Academy of Fine Arts, has written magnificent texts that we will be listening over the weeks as we contemplate the works.
