An Essay on the Opera
"This book is the first translation into the English language of a comprehensive study of opera and its constituent parts by an accomplished writer of the Eighteenth Century. Francesco Algarotti was concerned with developing opera as drama and a move away from the elaborate formality of the Baroque to a more naturalistic style.

An Essay on Painting Written in Italian by Count Algarotti F.R.S. F.S.a
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind.

Francesco Algarotti (1712-1764)
Francesco Algarotti, der italienische Aufklärungsphilosoph, europäische Intellektuelle, Akteur des transalpinen Kulturtransfers und Freund Friedrich des Großen, repräsentiert mit seinem vielschichtigen Werk das Denken der westeuropäischen Aufklärung, der es darum ging, die Wirkung der Vernunft und die Macht des Arguments unter Beweis zu stellen. Dieser Band bietet neue Studien zum essayistischen, philosophisch-literarischen, kunsttheoretischen, autobiografischen Werk des Venezianers. Beleuchtet werden neu gesichtete Briefe, wissenschaftsgeschichtliche und persönliche Netzwerke sowie Spuren der Erinnerung an den weltläufigen Denker; sensationell sind die wieder sichtbargemachten Fresken in der Villa Valguarnera auf Sizilien, die an Algarotti erinnern.

An Essay on the Opera
This essay on opera by Francesco Algarotti is an important, but neglected treatise of eighteenth century musical aesthetics. It belongs to that movement in the arts that rejected the artificiality and formality of Baroque style and moved towards the naturalness of expression characteristic of the painting, literature, drama, fashion, and gardening of the latter part of that century.
