N2 - A new book by Jonah Siegel is always of real interest. The present volume extends the author’s exploration of what he has come to call “the nineteenth-century culture of art” (p. viii). By this he means the period’s volatile complex of writings, pictures, and viewing practices that responded to a vast and increasingly mobile body of works of visual art, investing them with ever greater significance.
