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 :. | Rheinau Psalter | Ufer der Oise | Scene of Pharmacy,from Avicenna's Canon of Medicine | Scenes from the Passion of Christ | Christina of Denmark |
