By the end of the nineteenth century, a mode of painting that captured "instantaneity" had come to be seen as an appropriate and characteristically Impressionist means of depicting its subject, when that subject was understood to be our variable perception in nature. In May of 1895, Monet turned capriciously, it seemed to some, to the immutable fa???ade of a Gothic cathedral. Struck by the curious choice of a medieval monument as subject matter, critics, used to talking about "instantaneity," continued to lay emphasis on the theme of temporality, and this was addressed in two distinct but related ways. First, there was the matter of perception--the temporality that is involved in engaging visually with the near impenetrable surfaces of individual canvases, suggesting the dense complexity--the nuances--of our "momentary" perception. Then, there was the temporality involved in the real historical character of the motif itself; an awareness of the persistence of memory embedded in the medieval edifice and its significations of history and nation. It is the critical discourse and its complex negotiations--aesthetic, philosophical, and literary--that this book examines.
