The invisible masterpiece is an unattainable ideal, a work in which a dream of absolute arts is incorporated but can never be realized. By means of this metaphor borrowed from Balzac, the author shows the variety of ways in which the status and meaning of the masterpiece have been elevated and denigrated since the early 19th century.
