Jonathan Richardson (1667?1745), one of his generation’s foremost portrait painters, was also one of the most influential art theorists in eighteenth-century Britain. In this critical biography, Carol Gibson-Wood provides for the first time a detailed account of Richardson’s life, including new information from original archival sources and unpublished correspondence, along with an analysis of Richardson’s most significant theoretical texts.
Gibson-Wood describes art consumption in England in Richardson’s time as well as the debates concerning native versus Continental painting. She argues that Richardson’s personal and written responses to these circumstances quintessentially embody ?bourgeois” English Enlightenment ideals and the Lockean principles underpinning them. The first part of the book examines Richardson’s personal life, professional career, literary aspirations, activities as a collector, and relationships with such contemporaries as Alexander Pope. In the second part Gibson-Wood sets Richardson’s writings in the context of earlier art theory and of other genres of contemporary writing and concludes that his art-theoretical program was a radically English one that upheld the ability of freethinking Englishmen?including painters?to establish their own aesthetic criteria.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: No Dust Jacket. First Edition. The wealth of his father "enabled Richardson to live as a leisured gentleman of independent means. In both his career as a painter and his published writings, he asserted his independence from authority, whether in the form of court patronage or attributional judgements about pictures. Despite being neither a man of letters nor university educated, he considered his practical experiences, rational mind and extensive literary and intellectual acquaintance to be sufficient qualifications for the publication of three original volumes on art theory and one on Milton's Paradise Lost. He thereby epitomized the egalitarian implications of Lockean philosophy which, with its emphasis on the roughly equal natural abilities of people and the role of industry and education in achieving merit, provided an epistemological basis for bourgeouis individualism." - Introduction. Printed upon glossy stock. Generously illustrated in black and white. 264 pages. Footnotes. Bibliographical Note. Index. Clean, bright and unmarked with light wear. Slight lean to spine. Dust jacket not included. A sound copy.; Paul Mellon Centre For Studies In British Art; 4to. Codice articolo 128h1725
