Description
Summary:Knowledge of the old German masters, the so-called "Primitives", from the end of the 18th century to the middle of the 20th century, is the result of an immense collective effort, to which art historians, museum curators, critics and writers have all contributed. France has played a fundamental role in it, and deserves a synthesis that has never really been done. Whether we describe it as a matter of fortune or reception, or whether we want to look for transerts, this French vision of the German Primitives is profoundly determined by the shared political history of the two nations, made up of as many moments of openness as of prejudices into which nationalist postures enter.
