Product Description
Sir Joshua Reynolds' reputation today rests principally on his portraits, his theoretical writings on art and his role as President of the Royal Academy. Yet in his own day Reynolds' subject pictures were among the most widely discussed British paintings of the century. This is the first book to concentrate on this important aspect of Reynolds' work. Covering the period from 1760 to 1830, it shows the way in which these pictures were inextricably linked to Reynolds' aims and practices as a painter, and to the way in which he was perceived by his peers.
Book Description
This book is the first to concentrate on Reynolds's subject pictures. It demonstrates the way in which these pictures played a central role in shaping and defining Reynolds's attitudes towards the history of western art and the promotion of his own position as leader of the British school.
