In this first full-length study of a largely forgotten optical devicefrom the eighteenth century, Arnaud Maillet reconfigures our historicalunderstanding of visual experience and meaning in relation to notions of opacity, transparency, and imagination. Many are familiar with the Claude glass as a smallblack convex mirror used by artists and spectators of landscape to reflect a viewand make tonal values and areas of light and shade visible. In a groundbreakingaccount, Maillet goes well beyond this particular function of the glass and situatesit within a richer archaeology of Western thought, exploring the uncertainties andanxieties about mirrors, reflections, and their potential distortions. He takes usfrom the magical and occult background of the "black mirror," through a fullevaluation of its importance in the age of the picturesque, to its persistence in arange of technological and representational practices, including photography, film, and contemporary art. The Claude Glass is a lasting contribution to the history ofWestern visual culture.
