About this book

Sir Joshua Reynolds was a renowned portrait painter and aesthetician, who dominated English artistic life in the middle and late eighteenth century. Through his art and teaching, he strove to lead British painting away from the indigenous anecdotal pictures of the early 1700's toward the formal rhetoric of the continental Grand Style. One of his greatest achievements was his seminal work as a founding member of the Royal Academy, serving as its first President until his death in 1792. He delivered annual lectures on art theory and became one of the most influential voices in British art history. His work helped Britain to establish its own artistic identity, inspiring countless artists for years to come. Delphi's Masters of Art Series presents the world's first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail. This volume presents Reynolds' collected works, with concise introductions, hundreds of high quality images and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
