This two-volume posthumous edition of the writings on art of Sir
Joshua Reynolds (1723 92), one of the greatest of
eighteenth-century artists and the first president of the Royal
Academy, was published in 1797. Volume 2 contains his previously
unpublished Journey to Flanders and Holland, which describes and
comments on the paintings Reynolds examined on a two-month tour in
Europe in 1781. (He visited galleries in Dusseldorf, Cologne and
Aachen as well as the Low Counties.) This is followed by a long
Latin poem on the art of painting, by the French artist Charles
Alphonse du Fresnoy (1611 68), together with a translation by
William Mason, and extensive commentary by Reynolds. Appendices
include essays by Pope and Dryden on du Fresnoy's poem, and
chronological and alphabetical lists of painters and their genres
from Cimabue to the late seventeenth century. The book is completed
by an index covering both volumes."
