German critic. He worked as a diplomat in Paris from 1749. Influenced by the Encyclopedists, he favoured the use of the Italian style in French operas (especially those of Rameau); in the Querelle des Bouffons of the 1750s he rejected all French music in favour of Rousseau, writing the satirical tract Le petit proph??te de Boehmischbroda (1753) and other works. He was a friend to the visiting Mozart family, 1763-4 and 1778.   Related Paintings of baron grimm :. | det gamla slottet | Loose multi tile this Ahe rice Tash s scenery | Dreimastbark unter vollen Segeln | Shakuntala despondent | London: Whitehall and the Privy Garden from Richmond House f |
