Né d'une étude qui visait à documenter le "parcours historique" de la rue Notre-Dame, afin de mettre en perspective son projet de modernisation, cet ouvrage présente la genèse de cet axe et l'évolution de l'Est montréalais qu'il contribua à modeler. "Du chemin du Roy à la rue Notre-Dame" dévoile la mémoire et les monuments des quartiers Sainte-Marie, Hochelaga-Maisonneuve et Mercier, au fil d'une véritable épopée jadis peu valorisée. Quatre cents photographies et cartes, en noir et blanc ou en couleurs, soutiennent ici la découverte de ce sujet méconnu, désormais inscrit dans l'histoire du paysage de Montréal.

Summary:
"Geography of the gaze" offers a new history and theory of how the way we look at things influences what we see. Focusing on Western Europe from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century, Renzo Dibbini shows how developments in science, art, mapping, and visual epistemology affected the way natural and artificial landscapes were perceived and portrayed. He begins with the idea of the "view" explaining its role in the invention of landscape painting and in the definition of landscape as a cultural space. Among other topics, Dubbini explores how the descriptive and pictorial techniques used in mariners' charts, view-oriented atlases, military cartography, and garden design were linked to the proliferation of highly realistic paintings of landscapes and city scenes; how the "picturesque" system for defining and composing landscapes affected not just art but also archaeology and engineering; and how the ever-changing modern cityspaces inspired new ways of seeing and representing the urban scene in Impressionist painting, photography, and stereoscopy. Transladed by Lydia G. Cochrane.
