English Painters, Hogarth to Constable: Lectures Delivered April 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 1940, at the Johns Hopkins University (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book explores the history of English painting beginning with the career of William Hogarth, the first great English painter, and analyzing the contributions of several other talented artists, namely, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Gainsborough, William Blake, Joseph M. W. Turner, and John Constable. The author considers the development of the English school within its historical context and its relationship to the mainstream of European art. Hogarth's satirical and moralistic prints are described as influential in shaping 18th-century social and political culture, while Reynolds's Discourses are seen as a seminal theoretical text on art. The author also discusses how Gainsborough, Blake, Turner, and Constable expanded the range and ambition of English art. These painters' commitment to recording contemporary life and the changing English landscape gave their work a unique national character that challenged the dominance of continental models.
