| Summary: | The Nouvelles ecclésiastiques, the popular eighteenth-century Jansenist periodical, is a bellwether for changes in the priorities of the Jansenist movement. The annual frontispieces that decorated many editions of the paper from 1727 to 1763 are a site where these priorities are presented in an evolving visual rhetoric. Early images that focus on theological struggle, centered on ecclesiastical actors, gradually give way to a neoclassical visual sensibility in conjunction with an increasing emphasis on "bon François" political concerns. By examining these frontispieces, we can trace a gradual Jansenist shift towards patriotic politics. |
