A fellow Devonian, James Northcote (1746 1831) was an admirer and
pupil of Sir Joshua Reynolds, whose two-volume biography he
published in 1813 15. Reissued here is the 'revised and augmented'
second edition of 1818. Northcote is self-deprecating as to his
fitness for the task, but claims that a worthy biography of a great
artist can be written only by another artist, and his close
personal knowledge of his subject and the circle in which Reynolds
moved gives him insights, as well as providing anecdotes, which
would not be available to a more 'professional' author. Volume 2
covers the remainder of Reynolds' life, including a description of
his elaborate funeral and various assessments of his work, as well
as details of the sale of his paintings, and a short account of the
life of William Gandy, an obscure seventeenth-century painter whom
Reynolds greatly admired."
