Laocoon : An Essay upon the Limits of Painting and Poetry

Editorial Reviews Book Description "Lessing's use of image, rhetorical devices, and allusions in his . . . made him one of the great stylists of modern essayistic writing."--Robert Leventhal, Ph. D.
Originally published in 1766, Lessing's seminal tract is a turning point in the study of Western art. In this essay on the origins, forms, and influences of painting and poetry, Lessing helped frame modern conceptions of the artistic medium, and founded our modernist assumptions of the uniqueness of the individual arts.
