The Invisible Masterpiece by Hans Belting
The 'invisible masterpiece' is an unattainable ideal, a work into which a dream of absolute art is incorporated but can never be realized. This book shows the variety of ways in which the status and meaning of the masterpiece have been elevated and denigrated since the early nineteenth century.
