Have a little read: ... A commentary on the extract from Diderot's review of Vernet in the Salon of 1765 The extract from Diderot's 'Salon de 1765' is about Vernet and his works, and is certainly full of praise from author. The use of poetic techniques by Diderot, his style of narrative, approach to the reader, and his choice of language makes this particular extract a very vivid and concise commentary. Diderot's use of poetic techniques are similar to that of great Classical poets such as Virgil and Horace. A spring ode by Horace is quoted by Diderot, in a previous commentary, which can help us assume that he is well versed in classical poetry. This may help in analysing this commentary as there are certain areas where Diderot's review is reminiscent of the devices used in classical poetry. For example, at the beginning of this commentary he writes, "Vingt-cinq tableaux, mon ami! Vingt-cinq tableaux?
