	SIR JOSHUA REYNOLDS - LoveToKnow Article on SIR JOSHUA REYNOLDS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Sir Joshua was too prosperous and successful an artist altogether to escape the jealousy of his less fortunate or less capable brethren, and it must on the other side be admitted that his attitude towards some of his contemporaries was wanting in generosity.
		In 1784, on the death of Ramsay, Reynolds was appointed painter to the king.
		In portraits of this order Reynolds holds the field, but he is probably more generally admired for his studies of women and of children, of ~hich the Althorp portraits of the Spencer family are classic examples.

	Biography
		Reynolds early aspired to become an artist, and in 1740 he was apprenticed for four years in London to Thomas Hudson, a conventional portraitist and the pupil and son-in-law of Jonathan Richardson.
		Reynolds preferred the company of men of letters to that of his fellow artists and was friends with Samuel Johnson, Edmund Burke, and Oliver Goldsmith, among others.
		Reynolds' state portraits of the king and queen were never considered a success, and he seldom painted for them; but the Prince of Wales patronized him extensively, and there were few distinguished families or individuals who did not sit for him.

		Reynolds studied painting in London and in 1742 began as a portraitist in Devon.
		Intensely ambitious, Reynolds used his wit and charm as well as his artistic talents to advance himself, and within a year he was besieged with portrait commissions and was employing assistants.
		His annual discourses before the Academy have literary distinction and are a significant exposition of academic style, propounding eclectic generalization over direct observation, and allusion to the classical past over the present.

		Reynolds was held by the Pre-Raphaelites to epitomise all that was bad about the Royal Academy, and they called him 'Sir Sloshua Reynolds' because they felt that all good old Academicians covered their paintings with a thick coating of brown varnish to hide mistakes and give a general warm glow to their paintings.
		The Swiss-born painter of classical mythology and portraits Angelica Kauffman spent her youth in Italy, but was persuaded to come to London by Joshua Reynolds in 1766, where she quickly established a reputation high enough that she was chosen as a founder member of the Royal Academy in 1768.
		When Reynolds died in 1791, West was elected President of the Academy, but subsequent over-friendly relations with the French seem to have lead to his falling from favour, and he was forced to resign in 1805, the King's architect James Wyatt being elected in his place.

		Reynolds, Sir Joshua (The Frick Collection, New York) Born at Plympton, Devonshire, Reynolds served a brief apprenticeship under Thomas Hudson in London before launching his career as a portrait painter in Plymouth.
		Reynolds was a prolific painter whose variety of approach was envied by his rival, Thomas Gainsborough.
		Conceived as an experiment in cultural criticism, written along the fault lines of art history and literary studies, “Sir Joshua Reynolds” explores the ways in which portrait-painting is embedded in the social fabric of a given culture as well as in the social and professional transaction between the artist and his or her subject.

	Lady Elizabeth Delmé and her Children by REYNOLDS, Sir Joshua
		Sir Joshua Reynolds and Thomas Gainsborough - exact contemporaries - were the two greatest English portrait painters of the eighteenth century, but their pictures were of quite different types.
		Reynolds was a temperamental painter who loved to yield to the excitement of actual painting.
		For all that, he was acutely concerned over all questions of technique, and throughout his life he studied the pictures of the masters, especially of Rembrandt and Rubens, in an effort to penetrate their secret.

	§14. Sir Joshua Reynolds’s "Discourses". XI. Letter-Writers. Vol. 10. The Age of Johnson. The Cambridge ...
		The advice of a master grounded on his own knowledge and practice must always possess a real value, and Reynolds is severe in his condemnation of the futility of much art criticism by amateurs.
		Reynolds was a highly cultured man, and, doubtless, he gained much in clearness of literary insight by his intimate association with such men as Johnson and Burke; but a careful study of the Discourses would prove to most readers that the language as well as the thoughts were Reynolds’s own.
		The general reception of the work was extremely favourable; and that it was appreciated abroad is evidenced by the empress Catharine of Russia’s present to Reynolds of a gold snuff-box, adorned with her portrait in relief, set in diamonds, as an expression of her appreciation of the Discourses.

		Or perhaps Sir Joshua was telling her about his friend, the sea captain named Admiral Keppel, with whom he took that wonderful trip across the sea.
		At that time Sir Joshua was not a very wealthy man, and when they were still three hundred miles from Paris he counted his money and found he had only enough to pay his own fare; so he had to say good-by to poor Giuseppe Marchi.
		Perhaps, just when Sir Joshua was telling Penelope this part of the story, Giuseppe Marchi himself came into the room, for he lived with the artist all the rest of his life, and helped him paint part of his pictures, too.

		In his separation of the utterance of whole truths from insistance upon accidents of detail, Reynolds was right, because he guarded the expression of his view with careful definitions of its limits.

		Reynolds's practice could differ agreeably from his preaching; visits to Paris in 1768 (9 September-23 October) and 1771 (13 August-6 September), the Netherlands in 1781 (24July-14 September) and Brussels in 1785 (August and September) modified his ideas, and he often took from his contemporaries.
		In 1784 Reynolds succeeded Ramsay as Principal Painter to the King, but his Royal portraits were not a success.
		Reynolds employed a number of pupil-assistants (such as Marchi from 1752, Northecote 1771-6 and Doughty 1775-8) and the frequent discrepancy between the heads and draperies of his portraits suggests a busy studio practice.
