	Review: The King's Artists: the Royal Academy of Arts and the Politics of British Culture 1760-1840
		The first, 'Academies of Art' focuses precisely on this topic, to ground the founding of the RA within history and to discuss how, once founded, it itself provided a model for provincial Academies elsewhere in the British Isles.
		This is in and of itself interesting, for Hoare was a painter of pastel portraits, based in Bath, and royal favour therefore indicates both the cultural clout of that city, and the catholicity of taste exercised when it came to measuring the merits of some artists.
		Hoock maintains that these tensions took the Academy to the edge of dissolution in the earlier years of the nineteenth century, before stasis was restored to a demonstrably weaker institution.

		This was starkly evident in this spring's battle between Lawton Fitt, the academy's new secretary, or chief administrator, and Norman Rosenthal, its long-time exhibitions secretary, or chief curator.
		Neiland's resignation, the academy said it had discovered "an unauthorized bank account in the schools and a pattern of unauthorized deposits and disbursements."

		For art collectors, these richly glowing landscapes evoked nostalgic or elegaic emotional connections with the past, unlike their response to a topographer's dryly objective records of the present.
		But toward the end of the 18th century, traditional art theories and painting genres grew increasingly inadequate to guide artists painting from nature or in new media such as watercolors (disparaged by academics as a kind of drawing).
		The theories were defensively modified, rationalized and asserted by the newly founded Royal Academy of Arts under Sir Joshua Reynolds, whose judgments strongly influenced the prestige of artists and their reception by wealthy patrons.
