Living with the Royal Academy: Artistic Ideals and Experiences in
England, 1768-1848 offers a range of case studies which consider
individual artists' personal, professional and artistic
relationships with the Royal Academy during the late eighteenth and
early nineteenth centuries, bringing together the research of
leading historians of British artistic culture during this period.
Over its introduction and nine essays, this collection considers
the Academy as a lived organism whose most effective role,
following its establishment in 1768, was as a reference point
towards, around and against which artists operated in their
relationships with each other and with artistic practice itself. In
so doing, this collection also considers the relationship between
Academic ideals and individual practice (as well as lived
experience) during this period of art's increasingly public
manifestation at the Academy. Individual artists examined include
Joshua Reynolds, Joseph Wright of Derby, Benjamin West and William
Etty. Thinking beyond the dichotomy of loyalism and rebellion - and
complicating notions of the Academy as a monolithic ossifying
institution from which progressive artists would be 'liberated' in
the wake of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's emergence in 1848 -
this volume investigates the Academy's varied impact upon the
lives, experiences and ideals of its diverse artistic communities.
