Rerun: James Christie held his first auction on 5th December, 1766 - billed as a sale of “genuine household furniture, jewels, plate, firearms, china and a large quantity of madeira and high flavoured claret” belonging to a “Noble Personage (deceased)”. His auction-house, Christie's, went on to become one of the world's leading dealers of fine art. But it took Christie many years to exploit this opportunity, which he accomplished partly by leveraging well-connected friends. His milieu included Richard Tattersall, Thomas Chipperfield, Thomas Gainsborough, Horace Walpole, Joshua Reynolds and David Garrick - a ‘Who's Who' of 18th century London once known as ‘Christie's Fraternity of Godparents'. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how Christie innovated public viewings, product placement and sales technique; connect the dots between the French Revolution and Christie's biggest successes; and reveal how much it costs to buy a two-headed taxidermied lamb…  Further Reading: • ‘James Christie: the eloquent auctioneer' (Royal Academy of Arts, 2016): https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/article/james-christie-eloquent-auctioneer • ‘Mr Christie, before Christie's… His early days' (Artprice, 2021): https://www.artprice.com/artmarketinsight/mr-christie-before-christies-his-early-days • ‘Welcome to Christie's' (Christies, 2016): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ2kq20kK5U ‘Why am I hearing a rerun?'

Listen to Part One of ArtMuse's episode on  Lady Emma Hamilton. Born into severe poverty, Emma Hamilton worked her way to eventually become England's first female celebrity. Her life story is so unfathomable, that it almost sounds like a riveting work of fiction. In it, we are taken from the filthy streets of London's back alleys, to England's fashionable countryside, to the dazzling royal courts of Naples. Emma's path crossed with some of the greatest names of eighteenth century history, from George Romney and Joshua Reynolds, to General Horatio Nelson, to even Marie Antoinette. Her story is a tale of hope, grandeur, everlasting love, and devastating heartbreak. ArtMuse is produced by Kula Production Company. Today's episode was written by me, your host, Grace Anna.I have included images, resources and suggestions for further reading on the ArtMuse website and Instagram.

Bobbie Childress Shane and Joshua Reynolds talk about life around and in the Kingston Trio.

Wykład dr Joanny Sikorskiej z Gabinetu Rycin i Rysunków MNW towarzyszący wystawie „Mistrzowie pastelu. Od Marteau do Witkacego”, Muzeum Narodowe w Warszawie, 19 listopada 2015 [1h13min] https://wszechnica.org.pl/wyklad/pastelistow-wizerunek-wlasny/ Chciałam zaproponować krótki pobyt w zupełnie innej epoce. Porzucić epokę selfies, gdzie wykonanie wizerunku własnego jest równie szybkie jak jego zlikwidowanie, i powrócić do okresu, który jest nazywany „złotym wiekiem” techniki pastelu, czyli do XVIII stulecia – powiedziała dr Joanna Sikorska, otwierając swój wykład towarzyszący wystawie „Mistrzowie pastelu. Od Marteau do Witkacego. Kolekcja Muzeum Narodowego w Warszawie”. Pracowniczka Gabinetu Rycin i Rysunków MNW podczas swojego wystąpienia opowiedziała o autoportretach słynnych pastelistów i przyczynach popularności tej tematyki w „wieku świateł”. Kiedy mówimy o sztuce XVIII stulecia, mówimy o epoce, gdzie artyści specjalizowali się w jednej tematyce. We Francji można było zrobić ówcześnie karierę, malując wyłącznie portrety. Jednocześnie można było być portrecistą, który nigdy nie wykonał autoportretu – mówiła Joanna Sikorska. Popularność portretów pastelowych wynikała z dwóch czynników. Jako pierwszy pracowniczka Gabinetu Rycin i Rysunków wymieniła szybkość tworzenia pastelów, co je wyróżniało je na tle dzieł tworzonych innymi technikami malarskimi. Pastel można było wykonać w stosunkowo krótkim czasie, nie męcząc zanadto modela. Po drugie, pastel jako technikę wykorzystującą bogaty zasób barw, uważano za szczególnie predysponowaną do tworzenia portretów. Joanna Sikorska w trakcie swojego wykładu omówiła autoportrety wykonane przez takich XVIII-wiecznych pastelistów, jak Rosalba Carierra, Maurice-Quentin de la Tour, Jean-Siméon Chardin, Anton Raphel Mengs, Jean-Etienne Liotard i Joshua Reynolds. Mistrzowie pastelu Od Marteau do Witkacego. Kolekcja Muzeum Narodowego w Warszawie 29 października 2015 – 31 stycznia 2016 Wystawa będzie prezentacją pastelu – techniki bardzo atrakcyjnej wizualnie, ujawniającej raz swe oblicze malarskie, a raz rysunkowe. Na ekspozycji zostanie pokazanych blisko 250 pasteli z kolekcji Muzeum Narodowego w Warszawie, które – z uwagi na swą delikatność i wrażliwość na uszkodzenia mechaniczne – nie są wypożyczane, ani też na co dzień eksponowane. Ta unikatowa, trwająca tylko trzy miesiące, wystawa czasowa będzie pierwszą w Polsce tak szeroką prezentacją dzieł pastelowych, a zarazem wyjątkową okazją do zapoznania się ze studyjnymi zbiorami Muzeum Narodowego w Warszawie. Ideą autorów wystawy jest prezentacja pastelu od jego początków po pierwszą połowę XX wieku, z zaakcentowaniem roli tego medium w dziejach sztuki polskiej. Będzie to również okazja do przybliżenia różnych aspektów artystycznych, socjologicznych, konserwatorskich i kolekcjonerskich związanych z tą techniką. W zbiorach Muzeum Narodowego w Warszawie znajdują się reprezentatywne zespoły pasteli, począwszy od przykładów z pierwszego „złotego wieku” tej techniki, przypadającego na czasy stanisławowskie (m.in. prace Louisa François Marteau i Anny Rajeckiej), aż po dzieła polskich mistrzów tej techniki (Aleksander Orłowski, Władysław Ślewiński, Teodor Axentowicz, Leon Wyczółkowski, Stanisław Wyspiański, Kazimierz Mordasewicz, Olga Boznańska, Kazimierz Stabrowski, Jan Rembowski, Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, Wacław Borowski). Wyjątkowy na tle muzealnych zbiorów polskich jest zespół pasteli wybitnych artystów europejskich, m.in. Christiana Wilhelma Ernsta Dietricha, Élisabeth Louise Vigée-Le Brun, Jeana-François Milleta, Pierre'a Puvis de Chavannes'a, Adolpha Menzla, Maxa Liebermanna.

Episode No. 613 features author Prudence Peiffer and museum director Timothy Potts. Peiffer is the author of "The Slip: The New York City Street That Changed American Art Forever." The book, out this week from Harper, is a group biography of seven artists -- Robert Indiana, Ellsworth Kelly, Agnes Martin, James Rosenquist, Delphine Seyrig, Lenore Tawney, and Jack Youngerman -- who worked on Coenties Slip in the 1950s and '60s. Coenties Slip was a street that overlooked the East River in lower Manhattan. Peiffer's book argues for not only the importance of the artists themselves, but for where and how they worked as being important to the development of post-war art in New York. Peiffer is director of content at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.  Amazon and Bookshop offer "The Slip" for $22-36. Potts discusses the J. Paul Getty Museum's co-acquisition (with the National Portrait Gallery, London) of Joshua Reynolds' Portrait of Mai (ca. 1776). The painting, among Reynolds' finest works, is on view at the National Portrait Gallery. The first presentation at the Getty will be in 2026.

The literary club var en samling av framstående intellektuella män i 1700-talets London med Samuel Johnson i spetsen. Gabriella Håkansson reflekterar över denna klubb och över kvinnorna utanför den. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Den här essän publicerades första gången 2020.Året är 1773 och i ett separat rum på värdshuset The Turks Head Inn i London, har tolv män samlats för att dricka sprit och diskutera politik. Det har de gjort varje fredag i nio års tid, och det ska de komma att göra varje fredag så länge de lever. I centrum för gruppen står skriftställaren Samuel Johnson, som har publicerat en Ordlista över engelska språket och en utgåva av Shakespeares samlade verk. Gruppen kallar sig för The Literary Club, eller bara The Club. Klubben.För att bli medlem måste man enhälligt bli invald och besitta stora kunskaper i något viktigt ämne. Kanske var Johnson inspirerad av de franska upplysningsfilosoferna när han satte samman sin klubb, de som menade att sanningen om världen endast gick att få när all kunskap var samlad, så att man kunde se de stora sammanhangen.Runt sig samlade Johnson de främsta inom varje konstart – där fanns skådespelaren David Garrick, konstnären Joshua Reynolds, filosofen Edmund Burke, nationalekonomen Adam Smith, historikern Edward Gibbon, vetenskapsmannen Joseph Banks - och inte minst författaren James Boswell. Med tiden skulle det bli många, många fler, och det har sagts att det aldrig i historisk tid har samlats så många genier runt ett och samma bordAtt vi känner till Klubben så i detalj har vi främst James Boswell att tacka för.Den unge Boswell dyrkade Johnson som en gud och gjorde till sin livsuppgift att skriva hans biografi. Medan Johnson ännu levde lade Boswell åratal på att samla in brev, manus och göra intervjuer med alla som haft med honom att göra. I sitt ikoniska flerbandsverk ”Johnsons liv” återger han verkliga möten i dialogform, och ger ögonblicksbilder nedskrivna på plats. Boken betraktas som ett unikt tidsdokument, och lägger hela grunden för Johnsons framtida berömmelse. Den kommer också att bilda skola i hur litterära män ska förhålla sig till varandra. Den yngre som vill göra karriär skriver en hyllande biografi över den äldre.Eftersom Boswell knappt nämner några kvinnor i sin bok så kan man tro att hela det sena 1700-talets litterära elit, precis som Klubben, var enkönad. Men ny forskning visar att det faktiskt var precis tvärtom. Skriftställeriet var nästan det enda yrke som stod öppet för överklassens kvinnor, som formligen vällde in och kom att dominera både som författare, översättare och dramatiker. Vissa siffror pekar på att så många som sjuttiofem procent av alla romaner skrevs av kvinnor, ja, att det överhuvudtaget inte går att förstå romanens framväxt utan ett kvinnoperspektiv. Kvinnor köpte och läste så mycket böcker att bokmarknaden faktiskt formades efter dem och deras smak - en smak som i sin tur färgades av alla de frihetsinskränkningar som kvinnor hade börjat utsättas för.Andra halvan av 1700-talet var en epok när synen på könen förändrades drastiskt. Innan hade feminina och maskulina egenskaper fått ta plats hos båda könen – men ju mer man närmade sig 1800-talet, desto mer skulle män vara män, och kvinnor, kvinnor. De flesta yrken var som sagt stängda för kvinnor, och det var också universiteten, kyrkan och hela statsapparaten, och efterhand som de här konstruerade könsskillnaderna växte fram så blev det inte längre naturligt för välbeställda kvinnor att vistas i det offentliga rummet. Att promenera i staden var opassande, att gå på kaffehus helt otänkbart. Men även att tala med hög röst ansågs nu okvinnligt, liksom att kritisera en man eller publikt visa vrede. Femininiteten tog sig uttryck i passivitet och undergivenhet, medan maskuliniteten manifestades genom aktivitet och framåtanda – mäns romaner skildrade stadens framväxt och de stora samhällsfrågorna, medan kvinnor skrev om det lilla livet och allt som hände i den sociala sfären.I den här kontexten förstår man hur otänkbart det var att kvinnor skulle kunna delta i de högljudda diskussionerna på Klubben.Det förklarar ändå inte varför Boswell och andra författare så sällan nämner de kvinnor som faktiskt dominerade den litterära sfären i London. Träffades de aldrig?Jo, de gjorde de. Varje torsdag gick Samuel Johnson till Hester Thrale som i sitt hem drev en slags skuggklubb till den litterära fredagsklubben, en salong där den kvinnliga intelligentsian dominerade. Där var Elisabet Montagu och Fanny Burney och alla de andra kvinnliga författarna och översättarna som utgjorde kulturlivet i London, och som ofta också arbetade politiskt inom antislaverirörelsen eller för kvinnors rätt till högre utbildning.På grund av sina alkoholproblem blev Boswell sällan inbjuden till Hester och han var omvittnat avundsjuk på att idolen Johnson föredrog sina kvinnliga författarvänner framför honom. Men att Boswell inte nämner några kvinnor i sina böcker behöver inte grunda sig i hans avundsjuka och misogyni. Kvinnor tilläts ju inte verka i det offentliga och kunde inte skriva om de ämnen som gav tyngd i den kritiska debatten. Därför kom de heller inte riktigt att räknas. Som i ett retuscherat fotografi så framträder bara männen i historieskrivningen från den här epoken.Det skulle dröja ända till 1950-talet innan man publicerade James Boswells privata dagbok, och insåg att han inte var en så pålitlig tidsskildrare som man hade trott. Dagboken blev en skandal inte minst för att Boswell så detaljerat skildrar sin sexualdrift. Vid ett tillfälle blir han så exalterad av att prata litteratur med Johnson på Klubben, att han måste rusa ut och köpa sex av en prostituerad stående. Vid andra tillfällen kunde han tvinga sig till sex eller våldta de prostituerade som ratade honom. När man dessutom räknade på hur många dagar Boswell träffat Johnson under deras tjugoåriga vänskap, inser man att de varken umgicks eller gillade varandra särskilt mycket. Deras beryktade vänskap var snarare en litterär konstruktion.Litteraturforskarna började också förstå att såväl Boswell som Johnson led av svår psykisk sjukdom, antagligen bipolaritet, och i Johnsons fall även Tourettes syndrom med tvångstankar. Båda försökte förtvivlat bekämpa sina sjukdomar med alla medel som stod till buds: de förde dagbok, drog upp stränga livsplaner, gick dygnslånga stadspromenader och odlade nära vänskap med andra män. Men det hjälpte inte, och faktum är att hela iden till Klubben uppstod för att rädda Johnson ur en livshotande depression. Klubblivet blev den ram som höll sjukdomen i schack, och det var inte bara för honom som det här umgänget fick livsavgörande betydelse. Snarare än att se det som en diskussionsklubb för Englands mest lärda män, kanske man ska se Klubben som ett homosocialt rum där kontinuiteten, lojaliteten och den starka vänskapen hjälpte till att lyfta en Adam Smith och David Garrick till berömmelse. Merparten av medlemmarna hörde ju till den nya medelklassen som varken kunde räkna med privilegier eller stipendier från krona och stat. De hade bara varandra, och det verkar som att de hjälptes åt genom att diskutera idéer, låna pengar till publicering och stötta i djupa livskriser. I ett modernt perspektiv skulle man kunna säga att myten om det manliga geniet och konstituerandet av en manlig kanon, i själva verket var frukten av en sorts terapi i en manlig självhjälpsgrupp.Idag har forskningen fullt sjå med att skriva tillbaka alla de kvinnor som retuscherades ur historien, och som alternativ till Boswells tillrättalagda och romantiserade skildring av Samuel Johnsons liv och verk, så anlitar man både Fanny Burneys och Hester Thrales dagböcker för att förstå vad som egentligen hände på, och runt, den berömda Klubben.Historien är fortfarande långt ifrån färdigskriven.Gabriella Håkansson, författareLitteraturLeo Damrosch – The Club.

We're back after a week off with a verrrry interesting episode with the incredibly talented Dublin-based jeweller Joshua Reynolds! It's a huge week this week as it's the first in-person episode that we've recorded in a while and it was lovely to be back in Collaborative Studios. I don't care what anyone says, it was nice to have Podge back in the country... Josh chatted to us about his work as a jeweller and how he got to where he is today, from studying in Dublin's National College of Art and Design to his apprenticeship in Antwerp. He also told us how he has utilised social media in promoting his craft. This episode is proudly sponsored by Jameson Irish Whiskey.

We are still at least a month from having a new director in place for the South Bend Community Police Review Board. The common council took over the process after the first director, Joshua Reynolds, resigned under pressure after word that he had been disciplined numerous times as an Indianapolis police officer. There are more than 50 applicants, and finalists are expected to undergo public interviews next month. President Biden offered both carrot and stick to potential immigrants at the southern border Thursday, announcing a new application process to admit up to 30 thousand Cuban, Hatians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans by air each month, but also ramping up efforts to immediately deport those who cross illegally at the border. His message is basically: go throough the ptocess, don't just show up at the border. The signs renaming the VA Clinic in Mishawaka in honor of the late Congresswoman Jackie Walorski are now on the building. Congress passed the renaming and President Biden signed it back in September. Walorski sponsored a number of bills aimed at helping veterans during her years in Congress. She died in a car crash in Elkhart County last August. It's now official, former Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman is transferring to Notre Dame. That makes him the leading candidate for starting quarterback next season for the Irish. College basketball: top ranked Purdue won at Ohio State, 71-69. Number 15 Indiana lost at Iowa, 91-89. Tomorrow, Notre Dame is at North Carolina, and the Irish women play there Sunday. NBA: the Chicago Bulls are at Philadelphia tonight. The Indiana Pacers host Portland, and the Detroit Pistons are at Sacramento. Notre Dame hockey plays tonight and tomorrow at Wisconsin. The Blackhawks host Arizona in Chicago tonight, and the Detroit Redwings host the Florida Panthers.

James Christie held his first auction on 5th December, 1766 - billed as a sale of “genuine household furniture, jewels, plate, firearms, china and a large quantity of madeira and high flavoured claret” belonging to a “Noble Personage (deceased)”. His auction-house, Christie's, went on to become one of the world's leading dealers of fine art. But it took Christie many years to exploit this opportunity, which he accomplished partly by leveraging well-connected friends. His milieu included Richard Tattersall, Thomas Chipperfield, Thomas Gainsborough, Horace Walpole, Joshua Reynolds and David Garrick - a ‘Who's Who' of 18th century London once known as ‘Christie's Fraternity of Godparents'. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how Christie innovated public viewings, product placement and sales technique; connect the dots between the French Revolution and Christie's biggest successes; and reveal how much it costs to buy a two-headed taxidermied lamb…  Further Reading: ‘James Christie: the eloquent auctioneer' (Royal Academy of Arts, 2016): https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/article/james-christie-eloquent-auctioneer ‘Mr Christie, before Christie's… His early days' (Artprice, 2021): https://www.artprice.com/artmarketinsight/mr-christie-before-christies-his-early-days ‘Welcome to Christie's' (Christies, 2016): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ2kq20kK5U #1800s #Arts #Person Love the show?

Konservatismen som en sammanhållen ideologi föddes när den irländska politikern Edmund Burke publicerade boken Reflektioner om revolutionen i Frankrike i november år 1790. Burke var mycket kritisk till den franska revolutionen som slänger traditioner över bord och låter vem som helst bestämma. Här presenterades en sammanhållen syn på samhället, människorna och politiken som senare kom att bli grunden för konservatismen som politisk ideologi.I början av 1800-talet kom filosofen Friedrich Hegel att fördjupa de konservativa idéerna med sin historiefilosofi. Under intryck från liberalismen utvecklas senare konservatismen i en socialkonservativ gren och en liberalkonservativ gren.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Jakob E:son Söderbaum som skrivit boken Modern konservatism – Filosofi, bärande idéer och inriktningar i Burkes efterföljd. Detta är det andra avsnittet i en serie om tre om de politiska ideologierna.Ett vanligt missförstånd om konservatismen är att den är helt emot upplysningen, vilket är fel, konservatismen är i allra högsta grad ett barn av upplysningen även om konservatismen vänder sig mot mycket av den idéerna och praktikerna under den franska revolutionen.Edmund Burke var inte emot förändring, men syftet med förändring är att bevara så mycket som möjligt av den bestående ordningen: ”Jag vill inte heller utesluta förändring; men även när jag förändrade skulle det vara för att bevara. Jag skulle tillgripa botemedlet blott mot en stor anledning till missnöje. I vad jag gjorde skulle jag följa våra förfäders exempel. Jag skulle göra reparationen så nära som möjligt till byggnadens ursprungliga stil.”Russel Kirk som är en politisk tänkare från 1900-talet har sammanfattat Burkes tänkande i en rad principer där grunden är att det krävs en balans mellan tradition och förändring, tron på en bestående ordning, värdet av normer och traditioner, försiktighetsprincipen vid förändringar, att sociala skillnader mellan människor är naturlig, att människorna är ofullkomliga vilket gör utopier farliga, sambandet mellan äganderätt och frihet och omhuldandet av det civila samhällets små gemenskaper.Bild omslag: Edmund Burke porträtterad c:a 1767–1769 av Joshua Reynolds, Wikipedia, Public Domain.Musik: The Time Of Elegance av Neil Cross, Storyblock Audio.

Ben Luke talks to Alexander Kellner, the director of the National Museum of Brazil, about how he plans to mark Brazil's bicentennial and to restore the museum in the wake of the devastating 2018 fire, which destroyed most of the building and millions of objects. The Art Newspaper's London correspondent Martin Bailey tells us about the National Portrait Gallery's ambition to acquire the £50m Portrait of Omai (1776), arguably the greatest work by the 18th-century British artist Joshua Reynolds—the latest installment in a long-running saga relating to the painting. And this episode's Work of the Week is City, the land artist Michael Heizer's magnum opus in the Nevada desert, which is complete and open to the public after more than 50 years. Our editor in the Americas, Ben Sutton, discusses this monumental piece with Kara Vander Weg, a member of the board of the Triple Aught Foundation, which manages the work.

Country Houses are a huge inspiration for our host. After a childhood of being marched around the most incredible houses in the UK, he learnt to love them for their artistic and cultural importance in the landscape of Great Britain. Today, Harry is on a mission to highlight their cultural significance, dispelling their connotations of a grandma's day-out and instead inspiring people to see the benefit of a storied artistic experience that truly connects people with the history and objects of our past. Harry is lucky enough to have worked at one of the UK's finest stately homes and so had plenty of first-hand experience of the people who visit them and how to make them more accessible to all. This week, Harry is joined by two women championing the importance of stately homes. Firstly, we hear from historian and producer at History Hit TV Alice Loxton, who shares some of the stories behind some of her favourite homes, and talks about why more people should get involved with them. Also joining the episode is historian and author Charlotte Furness who discusses her thoughts on how to open up these buildings for all, as well as the reasons they still matter in our cultural landscape. She also shares with us the fascinating history of Anne Lister, a remarkable woman who features in Charlotte's latest book and whose diaries are still studied today as a record of hidden LGBTQ+ voices in the early 19th century.  Harry Stevens is the host of Young at Art and is a 21-year-old art and interiors obsessive passionate about opening up the art world to all. At Young at Art Harry speaks to the tastemakers who are defining a new image of art and design today, with new episodes out weekly. If you enjoyed this episode and want to find who we will be speaking to next, you can follow the podcast on instagram @youngatartpodcast. Today's guests can be found on instagram at @charlottefurnesswriter and @history_alice, and Harry can be found at @planetstevens.

Althorp House, Northamptonshire. A hidden gem only an hour from London, Althorp House has one of the best private art collections in the UK with works by Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Gainsborough, Van Dyke and Stubs. Featuring a mix of both modern works and inherited family pieces, the collection at Althorp feels fresh and relevant today. Althorp is also the family home of Princess Diana, and has been lived in by the Spencer Family for over 500 years. https://althorpestate.com 2. Kenwood House, Hampstead, London.Set on London's Hampstead Heath, Kenwood House is owned by English Heritage and was once home to a fascinating character from aristocratic history, Dido Elizabeth Belle, widely considered UK's first black British aristocrat. Dido's story is fascinating; her father Sir John Lindsay was a white Royal Naval Officer and her mother Maria Bell was a black slave living in the British West Indies. She was also a niece of William Murray, later the 1st Earl of Mansfield, who was influential in his views towards the abolition of slavery in the UK, some 60 years before the abolition act was passed in 1833. Her story is explored in the 2013 film Belle. https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/kenwood/ 3. Castle Howard, YorkshireBridgerton fans rejoice at the sight Castle Howard, which stands in as the fictional Clyvedon Castle, home to the Duke and Duchess of Hastings (played by Regé Jean-Page and Phoebe Dynevor). Castle Howard is a fabulous baroque palace: construction took over 100 years to complete and the result is a masterpiece of early 18th century design. The castle has a wonderful collection of antique sculpture, Canaletto paintings, and is set in acres of beautifully maintained parkland. https://www.castlehoward.co.uk 4. Mapperton House, DorsetHome to the Earl and Countess of Sandwich (Yes, where the name for the infamous lunchtime meal comes from) Mapperton is considered 'the finest manor house in England' and is home to an eclectic mix of objects and intriguing family history. Home to the Montagu family, Mapperton is the home of Julie Montagu - Viscountess Hinchingbrooke - who documents her life living and restoring the home to her YouTube channel (which has nearly 100,000 subscribers, all eager to get a slice of Mapperton life for themselves). Recently seen in Netflix's adaptation of Daphne Du Maruier's novel Rebecca, Mapperton House is a gem set amongst acres of gardens, where the Viscountess can be seen taking her daily ice bath in the 17th century canal garden !https://mapperton.com

In this episode of our podcast, we will discuss the representation of the Apostles on the “Act of Apostles” tapestry by the famous Italian artist Raphael, according to Reynolds's following statement. "In all of the pictures in which Raphael has represented the apostles, he has drawn them with great nobleness; he has given them as much dignity as the human figure is capable of receiving; yet we are expressly told in scripture they had no such respectable appearance; and of Saint Paul, in particular, we are told by himself, that his bodily presence was mean." Raphael represented St. Paul as noble and with such dignity, but the history behind St. Paul is not as noble as Raphael wanted to show us. Why did Raphael that? What did Raphael intend to express? Please play Rafael's Apostles versus Joshua Reynolds podcast if you want to know the answer. Music: FASHION CHILL POP VLOG by FineTune Music

Author and historian Hampton Sides' latest book, The Exotic: Intrigue and Cultural Ruin in the Age of Imperialism, tells the remarkable story of Mai, a central figure in the story of Captain James Cook but one who is rarely mentioned in other books on the famous explorer. 

Enjoy the words of two remarkable people in England who battled on for the cause of conciliation between the home country and the colonists in America. Neither was listened to. This was a time when many in Britain wanted only to turn a deaf ear to the Americans and their concerns. Meanwhile, back out there, General Gage was still in command of a military force occupying Boston. He decided it was time to use his military force militarily and sent troops to two Massachusetts villages that have since entered American legend. They are Lexington Green and Concord. While they were there, a hostile confrontation led to a shot being fired, and we were off: what had been a war of words became a shooting war. It started badly for the British. We'll discover soon that it would end just as badly. But it would take some seven years. Illustration: Portrait of Edmund Burke from the studio of Joshua Reynolds, circa 1769.

Joshua Reynolds, pintor inglês, um dos principais retratistas do século 18, morre em Londres em 23 de fevereiro de 1792. Sua técnica e habilidade influenciaram as gerações futuras de pintores retratistas. As pinturas invocavam os valores morais clássicos. Habituado a pintar retratos de mulheres e crianças, seu estilo retratava muito as cores em fortes pinceladas.----Quer contribuir com Opera Mundi via PIX?

Get to know the man behind the beginnings of the National Gallery. With the assistance of artists such as Joshua Reynolds and Benjamin West, John Julius Angerstein started to establish a collection of Old Master Paintings. In total, he collected 38 important works of art, some were displayed at Woodlands and others at his rooms at his town house at 100 Pall Mall. Many of Angerstein’s earlier purchases of pictures for his collection were by British artists. By 1804, Angerstein’s collection, at that stage consisting of only 25 paintings, was said to be the best and most celebrated collection in Great Britain.

Cherokee warrior and diplomat Ostenaco and Pacific Islander Mai both survived travelling to Britain with the hopes of securing peace for their people. While in England, they were both painted by renowned portrait artist Joshua Reynolds. Ostenaco had fought the French, the English and other Cherokee tribes to maintain trade routes and came to England to negotiate an enduring peace for his people and Mai managed to convince Captain Cook to allow him to travel to England in search of armaments to so he could retake the island he grew up on from a rival tribe. Neither man was successful in their mission, but affected all those that came into contact with them while travelling around Britain, including artist Joshua Reynolds.

Denna vecka ska vi prata om Sir Joshua Reynolds målning ”Tysoe Saul Hancock och hans fru Philadelphia (född Austen) med deras dotter Elizabeth och den indiska jungfrun Clarinda” som målades mellan 1765-67. När vi först såg målningen på Gemäldegalerie i Berlin hösten 2017 hade tavlan ett helt annat namn: ”George Clive och hans familj med en indisk jungfru”. Det fanns dock ett par forskare som, precis som vi, fängslades av målningen och inte minst av den vackra indiska kvinnan i målningen. Varför hade Joshua Reynolds placerat henne i verkets centrum och målat henne så väldigt omsorgsfullt? Vem var hon? Lyssna på veckans avsnitt och följ med på de brittiska forskarnas detektivarbete som tar oss med det brittiska Ostindiska Kompaniet till 1700-talets Indien och till den berömda författaren Jane Austens familjehistoria.

这期节目为转载益康糯米作客播客「艺术有读」的一期节目，以下Shownotes来自于「艺术有读」原标题：威廉·布莱克：画家、诗人和浪漫主义的怪咖主播 · Sammi：Tabula Rasa Gallery 画廊联合创始人，总监 · 胡湖：姐夫拍，艺术比特app创始人嘉宾· 益康糯米（张一帆）：文化土豆主播文字编辑· 婉莹剪辑· siyu威廉·布莱克（1757-1827）威廉·布莱克（William Blake），英国诗人、画家，浪漫主义文学代表人物之一。布莱克出生于伦敦一个中产阶级的袜商家庭。他在七个孩子之中排行第三，从未受过正规教育，在家上母亲的“私塾”。布莱克一家人属于脱离英国教会的异议者（Dissenters），据说曾加入莫拉维教堂（Moravian Church）。所以圣经对于布莱克来说有极深的影响，是他往后人生中的灵感来源。年幼的布莱克开始临摹爸爸送他的希腊古迹的画集，从那时起，他对拉斐尔、米开朗基罗、丢勒等人作品中的古典形式深深痴迷。随后父母给他报名了很多绘画课。1772年，15岁的布莱克成为伦敦著名的雕版师詹姆斯·巴塞尔（James Basire）的学徒，求学期间老师曾派他去伦敦内的哥特教堂临摹壁画和石碑。他曾花费大量的下午在伦敦威斯特敏斯特大教堂（Westminster Abbey）进行练习，七年后成为了出色的雕版师。1779年，布莱克进入皇家艺术研究院（Royal Academy）学习美术，他很反对当时雷诺兹（Joshua Reynolds）提倡的“普遍真理”、“普遍美好”和“理想美”等概念，也不喜欢当时盛行的油画风格，还是倾心于他幼时的偶像米开朗基罗和拉斐尔等人作品中的精确表达。1782年，布莱克与凯瑟琳·鲍彻（Catherine Boucher）结婚。他的妻子凯瑟琳并不识字，在婚约上只能签下“X”。他不仅教会她认字和书写，还将她训练成一名雕版师，他后来的众多作品都有她的协助。同年，国家美术馆的创始人之一乔治·坎伯兰（George Cumberland）很欣赏布莱克的作品。不久以后，布莱克出版了自己的第一本诗集——《诗歌礼记》（Poetical Sketches）。1784年，在父亲过世后，布莱克开始与著名出版商约瑟夫·约翰逊（Joseph Johnson）合作。约翰逊家曾是当时英国许多优秀人物的聚集地，如科学家约瑟夫·普莱斯利（Joseph Priestley）、早期的女权主义者玛丽·沃斯通克拉夫特（Mary Wollstonecraft）和美国革命家托马斯·佩恩（Thomas Paine）等等。布莱克同玛丽·沃斯通克拉夫特很快成为了好友，并应邀为其作品创作插图。1788年，31岁的布莱克开始尝试凸版蚀刻（relief etching），这种制作方法也被称为“诗画本”（illuminated books）。他用钢笔或刷子蘸取耐酸液体将诗歌文本直接写到铜板上，同时配上设计或图画。然后用酸剂浸泡铜板，把未被耐酸液覆盖的部分腐蚀掉，使文字和设计图案凸起，涂上墨水就可以直接上滚筒。这种方法其实和正常的蚀刻工序相反，从前是将设计图样和酸剂接触，布莱克的方法可以在一块雕版上同时编辑文字和图像。1800年，他受邀在萨塞克斯的费尔珀姆里的一个乡村小屋为诗人William Hayley画插图，期间他完成了《弥尔顿》（Milton: a Poem）。1804年回到伦敦后开始创作《耶路撒冷》（Jerusalem）。1825年开始，布莱克陷入疾病的折磨，之后，他决意要在死去之前完成为但丁神曲（Dante’s Inferno）的插图工作，但是直到死去，他也未能完成这一浩大的工程。Tate Britain的大型回顾展《威廉·布莱克》目前威廉·布莱克大型回顾展正在Tate Britain美术馆展出，展期为2019年9月11日至2020年2月2日。展览呈现了近300件作品，其中部分作品极少对外展示过。其中一个展厅还原了布莱克于1809年在其弟弟位于伦敦Soho区的袜子店楼上策划的个展，当时展出了16件小尺幅作品，该展览表明了布莱克的雄心壮志，他想被当作一名艺术家，而不是一个性情古怪的雕版师和作家。https://www.tate.org.uk/press/press-releases/william-blake-0泰特美术馆2019年布莱克大展画册，封面作品为The Ancient of Days, 这件作品为蚀刻手工上色作品，有多个版本，被认为是布莱克最好的作品，据说是布莱克本人所见幻象之一。画中是布莱克自创的神话人物尤里森（Urizen），代表理性和准则，其手中所持的圆规也出现在《牛顿》一画中。https://shop.tate.org.uk/william-blake-exhibition-book-hardback/22507.html牛顿通过《光学》揭开光的秘密，让自称可以看到神灵及体验异象的布莱克感到冒犯，在布莱克所绘的《牛顿》中，牛顿赤身裸体坐在海底岩石上，用圆规在卷轴上测算，卷轴与牛顿的头脑连为一体，暗指科学家对世界的看法是基于自己的想象力，而不是他们周围的世界。显然这是对牛顿的曲解，通过这种方式，布莱克表达了对启蒙运动的抵制。红龙系列源自布莱克为圣经所作的一系列水彩作品，因画面的神秘感和宗教意味常常被影视作品或海报所使用。在电影《沉默的羔羊》续集《红龙》中，主角杀死了两个亲人，原因只为获得布莱克这件作品中红龙的神力。《跳蚤的幽灵》这幅画被《纽约时报》描述为布莱克“相当奇怪，当然也是最哥特式的作品”。参考书目WIlliam

Experience）是一本版画诗集，也是布莱克最著名的诗集之一。他在这组诗集中探究“人类灵魂的两种矛盾状态”，“天真”和“经验”是经过对约翰·弥尔顿的乐土和堕落状态的反思之后给出的定义。布莱克的分类是一种和浪漫主义运动的年代观相应的观念：童年是一种被保护的天真，而非原罪，但无法避免和堕落的花花世界的接触。这个世界时不时地侵犯童年，每一次的侵犯，譬如惊吓和禁止、社会和政治腐败、教会、国家和统治阶级的控制，都减少了童年的天真。这种比较在诗歌中以反复出现的象征物表现出来。《天真之歌》的内容大致可分为三个部分，一是对心灵的纯洁境界的歌颂；二是对现实世界的温和批评，比如在《扫烟囱的孩子》和《小黑孩儿》两篇中，布莱克敏锐的感到了伴随着工业革命（布莱克称之为黑色的撒旦磨坊）而来的贫困和资源枯竭；三是对仁爱的上帝的向往。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songs_of_Innocence_and_of_Experience延伸阅读1.圣保罗大教堂穹顶投影为纪念威廉·布莱克的262年诞辰，泰特美术馆协同圣保罗大教堂（St. Paul’s Cathedral）在2019年11月28日至12月1日期间将艺术家的晚期作品《永恒之神》（Ancient of Days）投射在教堂的穹顶上。Tate Britain的资深策展人马丁·迈伦（Martin Myrone）曾说：“布莱克一直想作为一名艺术家被认可，他曾做过大型壁画提案，但从未实现过。他留存至今的所有作品都非常小，许多作品仅有几英尺高。他一直想做的就是在教堂和宫殿中创作大型绘画作品和祭坛画，这次终于梦想成真了。”https://londonist.com/london/art-and-photography/william-blake-s-final-masterpiece-lights-up-st-paul-s-cathedral-this-week2.本期嘉宾朗读诗歌

Milton）约翰·弥尔顿（1608年12月9日－1674年11月8日），英国诗人，思想家。英格兰共和国时期曾出任公务员。因其史诗《失乐园》和反对书报审查制的《论出版自由》而闻名于后世。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Milton6.让-雅克·卢梭（Jean-Jacques Rousseau）让-雅克·卢梭（1712年6月28日－1778年7月2日）是启蒙时代的法国与日内瓦哲学家、政治理论家和作曲家，出身于当时还是独立国家的日内瓦。卢梭的小说作品《爱弥儿》（Émile）是一篇关于全人公民教育的哲学论文，其言情小说《新爱洛伊斯》对前浪漫主义（pre-romanticism）[2]及浪漫主义时期的小说发展十分重要[3]。卢梭的的自传体作品《忏悔录》是现代自传的开端，而其文章《一个孤独漫步者的遐想》也说明了十八世纪的一个“感性时代”（Age of Sensibility）运动，其特征是更加注重主体性及自我反省，对现代写作也有所影响。https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%AE%A9-%E9%9B%85%E5%85%8B%C2%B7%E5%8D%A2%E6%A2%AD7.威廉·华兹华斯（William

）是布莱克的忠实信徒。他曾在读布莱克的诗歌《噢，向日葵》（Ah Sunflower）、《病态玫瑰》（The Sick Rose）和《走失的小女孩》（Little Girl Lost）时产生了幻觉，冥冥之中他仿佛听到布莱克的声音在读着这些短诗。他将这段体验成为“黑色启示” ，令他对宇宙有了新的认识，对他后来的创作来说是一个重要的转折点。他坚信他看到了世间万物的内在联结。帕蒂·史密斯（Patti Smith）的歌曲《我的布莱克岁月》My Blakean Year）是致敬布莱克的，也曾在2011年的一场慈善音乐会中演唱布莱克的诗歌《老虎》（The Tyger）。https://youtu.be/QSLjYScyaBo美国摇滚乐队大门（The Doors）的乐队名来自布莱克的 《天堂与地狱的结合》（The Marriage of Heaven and Hell）。原文为“如果感官之门能完全被洗净，一切事物将以原本的样貌呈现，不受任何限制，因为人们大多自我封闭，从他们洞穴的缝隙来看事情。”（If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.

The literary club var en samling av framstående intellektuella män i 1700-talets London med Samuel Johnson i spetsen. Gabriella Håkansson reflekterar över denna klubb och över kvinnorna utanför den. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Året är 1773 och i ett separat rum på värdshuset The Turks Head Inn i London, har tolv män samlats för att dricka sprit och diskutera politik. Det har de gjort varje fredag i nio års tid, och det ska de komma att göra varje fredag så länge de lever. I centrum för gruppen står skriftställaren Samuel Johnson, som har publicerat en Ordlista över engelska språket och en utgåva av Shakespeares samlade verk. Gruppen kallar sig för The Literary Club, eller bara The Club. Klubben. För att bli medlem måste man enhälligt bli invald och besitta stora kunskaper i något viktigt ämne. Kanske var Johnson inspirerad av de franska upplysningsfilosoferna när han satte samman sin klubb, de som menade att sanningen om världen endast gick att få när all kunskap var samlad, så att man kunde se de stora sammanhangen. Runt sig samlade Johnson de främsta inom varje konstart där fanns skådespelaren David Garrick, konstnären Joshua Reynolds, filosofen Edmund Burke, nationalekonomen Adam Smith, historikern Edward Gibbon, vetenskapsmannen Joseph Banks - och inte minst författaren James Boswell. Med tiden skulle det bli många, många fler, och det har sagts att det aldrig i historisk tid har samlats så många genier runt ett och samma bord Att vi känner till Klubben så i detalj har vi främst James Boswell att tacka för. Den unge Boswell dyrkade Johnson som en gud och gjorde till sin livsuppgift att skriva hans biografi. Medan Johnson ännu levde lade Boswell åratal på att samla in brev, manus och göra intervjuer med alla som haft med honom att göra. I sitt ikoniska flerbandsverk Johnsons liv återger han verkliga möten i dialogform, och ger ögonblicksbilder nedskrivna på plats. Boken betraktas som ett unikt tidsdokument, och lägger hela grunden för Johnsons framtida berömmelse. Den kommer också att bilda skola i hur litterära män ska förhålla sig till varandra. Den yngre som vill göra karriär skriver en hyllande biografi över den äldre. Eftersom Boswell knappt nämner några kvinnor i sin bok så kan man tro att hela det sena 1700-talets litterära elit, precis som Klubben, var enkönad. Men ny forskning visar att det faktiskt var precis tvärtom. Skriftställeriet var nästan det enda yrke som stod öppet för överklassens kvinnor, som formligen vällde in och kom att dominera både som författare, översättare och dramatiker. Vissa siffror pekar på att så många som sjuttiofem procent av alla romaner skrevs av kvinnor, ja, att det överhuvudtaget inte går att förstå romanens framväxt utan ett kvinnoperspektiv. Kvinnor köpte och läste så mycket böcker att bokmarknaden faktiskt formades efter dem och deras smak - en smak som i sin tur färgades av alla de frihetsinskränkningar som kvinnor hade börjat utsättas för. Andra halvan av 1700-talet var en epok när synen på könen förändrades drastiskt. Innan hade feminina och maskulina egenskaper fått ta plats hos båda könen men ju mer man närmade sig 1800-talet, desto mer skulle män vara män, och kvinnor, kvinnor. De flesta yrken var som sagt stängda för kvinnor, och det var också universiteten, kyrkan och hela statsapparaten, och efterhand som de här konstruerade könsskillnaderna växte fram så blev det inte längre naturligt för välbeställda kvinnor att vistas i det offentliga rummet. Att promenera i staden var opassande, att gå på kaffehus helt otänkbart. Men även att tala med hög röst ansågs nu okvinnligt, liksom att kritisera en man eller publikt visa vrede. Femininiteten tog sig uttryck i passivitet och undergivenhet, medan maskuliniteten manifestades genom aktivitet och framåtanda mäns romaner skildrade stadens framväxt och de stora samhällsfrågorna, medan kvinnor skrev om det lilla livet och allt som hände i den sociala sfären. I den här kontexten förstår man hur otänkbart det var att kvinnor skulle kunna delta i de högljudda diskussionerna på Klubben. Det förklarar ändå inte varför Boswell och andra författare så sällan nämner de kvinnor som faktiskt dominerade den litterära sfären i London. Träffades de aldrig? Jo, de gjorde de. Varje torsdag gick Samuel Johnson till Hester Thrale som i sitt hem drev en slags skuggklubb till den litterära fredagsklubben, en salong där den kvinnliga intelligentsian dominerade. Där var Elisabet Montagu och Fanny Burney och alla de andra kvinnliga författarna och översättarna som utgjorde kulturlivet i London, och som ofta också arbetade politiskt inom antislaverirörelsen eller för kvinnors rätt till högre utbildning. På grund av sina alkoholproblem blev Boswell sällan inbjuden till Hester och han var omvittnat avundsjuk på att idolen Johnson föredrog sina kvinnliga författarvänner framför honom. Men att Boswell inte nämner några kvinnor i sina böcker behöver inte grunda sig i hans avundsjuka och misogyni. Kvinnor tilläts ju inte verka i det offentliga och kunde inte skriva om de ämnen som gav tyngd i den kritiska debatten. Därför kom de heller inte riktigt att räknas. Som i ett retuscherat fotografi så framträder bara männen i historieskrivningen från den här epoken. Det skulle dröja ända till 1950-talet innan man publicerade James Boswells privata dagbok, och insåg att han inte var en så pålitlig tidsskildrare som man hade trott. Dagboken blev en skandal inte minst för att Boswell så detaljerat skildrar sin sexualdrift. Vid ett tillfälle blir han så exalterad av att prata litteratur med Johnson på Klubben, att han måste rusa ut och köpa sex av en prostituerad stående. Vid andra tillfällen kunde han tvinga sig till sex eller våldta de prostituerade som ratade honom. När man dessutom räknade på hur många dagar Boswell träffat Johnson under deras tjugoåriga vänskap, inser man att de varken umgicks eller gillade varandra särskilt mycket. Deras beryktade vänskap var snarare en litterär konstruktion. Litteraturforskarna började också förstå att såväl Boswell som Johnson led av svår psykisk sjukdom, antagligen bipolaritet, och i Johnsons fall även Tourettes syndrom med tvångstankar. Båda försökte förtvivlat bekämpa sina sjukdomar med alla medel som stod till buds: de förde dagbok, drog upp stränga livsplaner, gick dygnslånga stadspromenader och odlade nära vänskap med andra män. Men det hjälpte inte, och faktum är att hela iden till Klubben uppstod för att rädda Johnson ur en livshotande depression. Klubblivet blev den ram som höll sjukdomen i schack, och det var inte bara för honom som det här umgänget fick livsavgörande betydelse. Snarare än att se det som en diskussionsklubb för Englands mest lärda män, kanske man ska se Klubben som ett homosocialt rum där kontinuiteten, lojaliteten och den starka vänskapen hjälpte till att lyfta en Adam Smith och David Garrick till berömmelse. Merparten av medlemmarna hörde ju till den nya medelklassen som varken kunde räkna med privilegier eller stipendier från krona och stat. De hade bara varandra, och det verkar som att de hjälptes åt genom att diskutera idéer, låna pengar till publicering och stötta i djupa livskriser. I ett modernt perspektiv skulle man kunna säga att myten om det manliga geniet och konstituerandet av en manlig kanon, i själva verket var frukten av en sorts terapi i en manlig självhjälpsgrupp. Idag har forskningen fullt sjå med att skriva tillbaka alla de kvinnor som retuscherades ur historien, och som alternativ till Boswells tillrättalagda och romantiserade skildring av Samuel Johnsons liv och verk, så anlitar man både Fanny Burneys och Hester Thrales dagböcker för att förstå vad som egentligen hände på, och runt, den berömda Klubben.

One of Britain's best-loved historians, Dan Cruickshank, grants us an intimacy with centuries of rich and varied history as he guides us around the Soho of the last five hundred years. We learn of its original aspirations towards respectability, how it became London's bohemian quarter and why it was once home to its criminal underworld. The bars, clubs, theatres and their frequenters are described with detail that evokes the heart of the district. The history of Soho is written in its surviving architecture. Cruickshank points out the streets that were the stamping grounds of criminal dynasties and directs our attention towards the homes of renowned prostitutes, revealing Georgian sexual mores and surprising visitors - amongst them eighteenth-century painter Joshua Reynolds, whose peculiar 'caprice' was simply drawing the girls. Soho has been home to characters as diverse as Mrs Goadby's girls to the Maltese mafia, and Cruikshank draws these threads together with kaleidoscopic verve. Even as he mourns some of the changes, he pays testament to the district's resilience. He observes how the common denominator over the centuries is that it has always been a destination for immigrants: from French Huguenots to the East European Jewish community and recent Chinese diaspora - and that this is the foundation of its spirit and success.

Emily Knight talks at the Ashmolean Museum about eighteenth-century portraits of children. Throughout history we have attempted to capture the transience of childhood in images, whether through portraits painted in the eighteenth century or photos taken on a phone and shared on social media today. In this short talk Emily Knight takes us back to the eighteenth century, when artists including Thomas Gainsborough, William Hogarth, Joshua Reynolds, Henry Fuseli and George Romney were painting children’s portraits. Ideas of childhood had begun to shift in the era, which was reflected in the portraiture. At the time infant mortality rates were high, meaning parents felt an even greater desire to have an image of their child to capture those fleeting early moments. Emily shows how these ideas were reflected in the portraiture through recurring motifs like the butterfly. Emily Knight is a DPhil candidate in History of Art at the University of Oxford researching posthumous portraiture in the late eighteenth to early nineteenth centuries in Britain, considering the ways in which these works became a language for mourning and commemoration.

Dr Matthew Hunter (McGill University) Did Joshua Reynolds Paint his Pictures? Professor Mark Hallett (Paul Mellon Centre) Point Counter Point: Josua Reynolds, portraiture and late eighteenth-century exhibition culture. Abstracts Matthew Hunter. In May 1773, an open letter to London’s Morning Chronicle lodged a peculiar complaint with Sir Joshua Reynolds. Pigmented ooze—paint—had, in the view of this critic, come to bear in upon British art with undue, defacing force. The problem followed from conceptualizing artistic identity through an excessively literal translation of French Peintre as “Painter, and the materials which ingenious persons of that denomination make use of to display their talents, we have, from that word, calledpaint, which in French is named coleurs.” Closer to the liberal art actually practiced and promoted by Reynolds, this anonymous critic proposed, sculptors and architects could offer useful counter-models: “Why not like these have a peculiar name, Sir Joshua, for your very profession? Why not like these take up at once your classic name? Why not Pictor?” Situated within the rich, period discourse and extensive, modern documentation of Reynolds’s chemical experiments, this paper aims to take theMorning Chronicle’s complaint seriously. It considers the ways in which Reynolds and his contemporaries understood interfaces between paint and image, while exploring the broader stakes (then as now) of apprehending the President’s temporally-evolving chemical works as “pictures.” Mark Hallett. This talk, which will focus on the portraits submitted by Joshua Reynolds to the annual Royal Academy displays of the 1780s, explores the workings of the painted object within the crowded, ephemeral and spectacular exhibition displays characteristic of the late eighteenth century. Particular attention will be devoted to the ways in which, within the Academy's Great Room, Reynolds's individual portraits of women were played off against each other and against portraits of male subjects, and thereby became part of an extended and highly intriguing form of visual dialogue and counterpoint.

This is a lively bravura portrait of a modern Melbourne woman of fashion, style and elegance. It has an arresting vitality. Her belongings, a luscious blue stole, elegant feathered hat and jewelled ring, are as much the subject of this work as is Miss Collins herself, and contribute to it a sense of opulence. Her flamboyant pose, with her head slightly tilted back and poised to one side, and her arms caught in mid-action, matches her vivacious personality. Her eyes appear to be laughing in accord with her smile and she seems to be deliberately posing or hamming it up for the artist. The subject, Miss Gladys Neville Collins, was the daughter of J.T. Collins, lawyer, Victorian State Parliamentary draughtsman, and trustee of the Public Library, Museums and National Gallery of Victoria. Lambert appears to have enjoyed painting her portrait and described her to Amy on 10 December 1921 as ‘a dear girl [who] sits for the fun of it and because her Dad thinks I am it’ (ML MSS 97/10, p.393). Lambert portrayed the individual features of Miss Collins but, with her collaboration, he arranged them to denote a characteristic type. Miss Collins’s tilted head, her half-open mouth, half-closed eyes, and almost-bare right arm suggest an individual sensuality, but they also indicate a form of codified (sexual) behaviour. Lambert's portrait presents a witty version of the pose of Bernini’s Ecstasy of St Teresa 1645–52 (Cornaro Chapel, Santa Maria della Vittoria, Rome), an established expression of the ecstatic experience, and one which was subsequently taken up by photographers, film-makers and advertisers. What is more, Lambert presented Miss Collins in a variation of the pose used by Joshua Reynolds in his portrait Sarah Siddons as the Tragic Muse 1784, which in 1921 (the year Lambert painted this portrait) the Duke of Westminster had controversially sold to The Huntington Library and Art Collection in California. By associating Miss Collins with this classic image of a leading actress, he hinted that she was playing a role in this portrait. It is also possible that Lambert knew Sargent’s Portrait of Ena Wertheimer: a vele gonfie of 1905 (Tate, London), a lively portrait of Ena wearing as a joke a black feathered hat and billowing cloak, painted essentially in black and white. It is similar to Lambert’s painting in its sense of extravagant posture and light-heartedness. If nothing else, both paintings are a reflection of the spirit of the times. In this portrait Lambert used a limited range of colours to great effect: a dark Manet black and a Gainsborough blue, with the addition of purple in the jewel on a chain around her neck. Lambert paid close attention to the clothing, capturing an array of textures – the lustrous steel-blue silk of her stole, the fluffy white fur collar, the white leather gloves, the transparent black lace sleeve and the black velvet of the hat wreathed with white ostrich plumes. Lambert painted the portrait with broad brushstrokes, and spontaneously, as a kind of ‘performance in paint’. When exhibited, it stood out from the prevalent brown tonalist portraiture painted at this time by other Australian artists, such as John Longstaff and W.B. McInnes. (W.B. McInnes’s much more restrained Portrait of Miss Collins was awarded the Archibald Prize for 1924 at the Art Gallery of New South Wales). Lambert’s tour de force was purchased for 600 guineas by the Art Gallery of New South Wales when it was shown at the New South Wales Society of Artists exhibition in 1922; at that time the highest price paid by a public gallery for a portrait by an Australian artist.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Samuel Johnson, a giant of 18th century literature. “There is no arguing with Johnson, for when his pistol misses fire, he knocks you down with the butt of it." The poet Oliver Goldsmith was not alone in falling victim to the bludgeoning wit of Samuel Johnson. The greatest luminaries of 18th century England, including the painter Joshua Reynolds, the philosopher Edmund Burke and the politician Charles James Fox, all deferred to him... happily or otherwise. Samuel Johnson was credited with defining English literature with his Lives of the Poets and his edition of Shakespeare, and of defining English language with his Dictionary. Yet despite those lofty acclamations he failed to get a degree, claimed he had never finished a book, was an inveterate hack who told his friend James Boswell, "No man but a blockhead ever wrote, except for money". How did an Oxford drop-out become England's most famous and well connected man of letters? How did generations of readers come to see him as the father of English Literature? And why is he so little read today? With John Mullan, Professor of English at University College London; Jim McLaverty, Professor of English at Keele University; Judith Hawley, Senior Lecturer in English at Royal Holloway, University of London.
