Excerpt from Epochs of the Arts: Including Hints on the Use and Progress of Painting and Sculpture in Great Britain
The progress of the Arts of Design may be re garded in a similar view. The merits of the English School are diffused over the Continent: Painters and Sculptors have been courted to the most distant realms. The greatest historical work of Reynolds is in the Palace at Petersburgh. The Cupid and Psyche of Banks adorns the gardens of Czarsko - zelo. Engravings from West's Pictures have been eagerly purchased in France; and the candid Watelet, in his Dictionnaire des Arts, acknowledged our pretensions to fame. What country or language has not wel comed the Discourses delivered by Reynolds at our Academy! The Arts of Design, rooted in our soil, are fostered in foreign lands. England alone tran quilly contemplates their growth.

This book explores the overlooked history of painting and sculpture's utility in society and contrasts the value placed on these art forms between ancient civilizations to England's industrial revolution era. Drawing on historical examples like Pericles and Alexander the Great, the author proposes a reorganization of state patronage to elevate the arts in cultural prominence while opening vast possibilities for commerce and trade. An incisive investigation into the misconception of separating a work's intellectual value from its functional nature, this book emphasizes the invaluable and varied role design plays in the development of civilization.
