This study examines exhibitions at the Paris Royal Academy of Art to analyze how 18 th century norms for public viewing of art were established and ultimately questioned. For the first time, using a critical source study, it details the transformation in the idea of viewership from one of a passive, admiring spectator to one of a creatively co-creating art observed who is physically and emotionally moved.
