"The object of this study is to present but a single phase of Sir Joshua's life -- a phase which though not the most important, nevertheless merits our attention. Joshua as he appears in these pages is seen in his off-hours, out of his studio. He is the man, rather than the artist. Although passionately devoted to his profession as a painter, he repeatedly indicated his contempt for the man who was a painter and nothing more. When he was out of his studio, he associated not with painters but with men of letters. His closest friends were those whose careers were literary, and in their society he was filled with a desire to emulate them. As a result he is said to haave left at his death at least two thousand manuscript pages -- essays for periodicals, criticism on art for his Discourses, notes on Shakespeare for his friends Johnson, Malone, or Steevens. By profession a painter, his ambition, particularly near the end of his life, was to be considered an equally proficient writer. It would have given him no little satisfaction to have been told that in the course of the century and a half immediately following his death, his Discourses wer to be reprinted on an average of once every three years; would have pleased to know that almost as much space is accorded him in the Oxford Book of English Prose as to his contemporaries who devoted their lives to writing." from the Preface.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the extraordinary literary pursuits of Sir Joshua Reynolds, one of the founding members of the Royal Academy of Arts in London. As the first president of the academy, Reynolds's artistic achievements are widely recognized. Yet, his role as a writer and literary critic is less well known. The book argues that in his lifetime Reynolds was just as famous for his eloquent and insightful writings, especially his Discourses on Art, as he was for his paintings. By examining his unpublished writings and published letters, the author uncovers Reynolds's deep engagement with the literary world, showing his profound appreciation of painters, poets, and other artists, as well as his desire for recognition as a writer. As Reynolds himself once remarked, he had an insatiable hunger to be considered not just a painter, but a cultured man of letters. This book shows that he was nothing less. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
