Sir Joshua Reynolds could never have anticipated an edition of his
letters; he once told Boswell that “If I felt the same reluctance
in taking a Pencil in my hand as I do a pen I should be as bad a
Painter as I am a correspondent.” Yet although his surviving
letters are those of a busy man, and many are perfunctory responses
or requests, they remain of considerable interest to the reader.
This is the first edition of letters by Reynolds to be published
since 1929. Since that date the number of known letters has almost
doubled. The new volume contains a total of 308 letters by the
artist to friends, family, and patrons, all of which are
accompanied by detailed notes to identify the recipient and
illuminate the text. Published for the Paul Mellon Center for
Studies in British Art
