The Image of the Black in Western Art: Volume III From the "Age of Discovery" to the Age of Abolition (The Eighteenth Century)

The Eighteenth Century features a rich collection of images of Africans representing slavery’s apogee and the beginnings of abolition. Old visual tropes of a master with adoring black slave gave way to depictions of Africans as victims and individuals, while at the same time the intellectual foundations of scientific racism were established.
