This work examines the origins of visual culture in eighteenth-century Britain. It claims that at the moment when works of visual art were first displayed and contemplated as aesthetic objects two competing descriptions of the viewer or spectator promoted two very different accounts of culture.
"...The detailed analyses and discussions of the various ways of looking are both fascinating and illuminating."--The Art Book "De Bolla's The Education of the Eye is a significant contribution to both the ongoing delineation of 'visual culture' as a field of inquiry, and to the reading of eighteenth-century public space."--Albion
