Beschreibung

When Sir Joshua Reynolds collected his first seven discourses together for publication there were three main traditions of art theory in Britain. There was the empiricism of Hogarth; secondly there was the idealist classicism; & the third tradition, to which Reynolds subscribed, was that of empiricist classicism initiated by Junius, popularised by Dryden's translation of Du Fresnoy's De Arte Graphica (1695), and manifested in Richardson's Essay on the Theory of Painting (1725) and Algarotti's Essay on Painting (1764). These literary movements were mainly associated with, respectively, the artistic movements of native portraiture, 'Greek' neoclassicism, and 'French/Italian neoclassicism. First Thus.
