  Johann Jakob Bodmer
Johann Jakob Bodmer (July 19, 1698 - January 2, 1783) was a Swiss-German author and critic.
His most important writings are the treatises Von dem Wunderbaren in der Poesie (1740) and Kritische Betrachtungen über die poetischen Gemählde der Dichter (1741), in which he pleaded for the freedom of the imagination from the restriction imposed upon it by French pseudo-classicism.
Bodmer's epics Die Sundflutz (1751) and Noah (1751) are weak imitations of Klopstock's Messias, and his plays are entirely deficient in dramatic qualities.

Moreover, their expedition occurred during a period of rapid and intense change, effected by the fur trade, the subsequent opening of the West to a tide of immigrants, and the devastating effect of epidemics—in 1837, an outbreak of smallpox nearly decimated the once-populous Mandan Indians, among whom the travelers spent the winter of 1833-1834.

The subject of the portrait was outraged, and came to Maximilian and Bodmer demanding satisfaction.
Meanwhile, Bodmer dashed off another sketch of the warrior, which he showed to him, tore and burned in the fire.
Thus, Bodmer's watercolors were primarily intended as 'notes' for the eventual process of engraving the copper plates that were to be used to make aquatint prints, a number of which were then hand colored for the most expensive of the various editions.

Auch an der Kaufmannslehre fand Bodmer keinen Gefallen: die Ausbeute von zwei Reisen, die er als Zwanzigjähriger auftragsgemäß nach Lyon und Lugano unternahm, bestand nicht in geschäftlichen Erfolgen, sondern in neuen literarischen Erfahrungen, insbesondere in der Bekanntschaft mit der englischen Poesie und Publizistik.
Wieder in Zürich, begründete Bodmer zusammen mit Breitinger und anderen Freunden den Literatenkreis »Gesellschaft der Mahler«, der von 1721 bis 1723 die moralische Wochenschrift Die Discourse der Mahlern herausgab.
Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock, Christoph Martin Wieland, Johann Kaspar Lavater und der junge Johann Wolfgang Goethe suchten seine Bekanntschaft, weil sie in ihm einen Erneuerer der erstarrten Kunst- und Literaturszene der Frühaufklärung zu finden hofften.

 Sample Chapter for Herder, J.G.; Moore, G., ed. and trans.: Selected Writings on Aesthetics.
Hamann, a deeply religious thinker who inveighed against the excesses of the eighteenth-century cult of reason, taught that the true source of knowledge was not logic and abstraction but faith and the experiences of the senses, for the outward splendor of the world, nature, and history was a living manifestation of the divine.
This is epitomized in the indiscriminate appeal to Horace's well-worn phrase "ut pictura poesis" (as is poetry so is painting), which was taken to mean, by Addison and later by Bodmer and Breitinger, that the aim of poetry was to excite vivid images in the mind of the reader.
Most vocal and vigorous in their response to Lessing's puritanical crusade were the Swiss critics Bodmer and Breitinger, whose Lessing's Unaesopian Fables (1760) was a mixture of parody and polemic, accusing Lessing of having surrendered any commitment to virtue, religion, and nature.
