  • Constable, Gainsborough, Turner and the Making of Landscape
    CONSTABLE, GAINSBOROUGH, TURNER AND THE MAKING OF LANDSCAPE THE JOHN MADEJSKI FINE ROOMS 8 December 2012 – 17 February 2013 This December an exhibition of works by the three towering figures of English landscape painting, John Constable RA, Thomas Gainsborough RA and JMW Turner RA and their contemporaries, will open in the John Madejski Fine Rooms and the Weston Rooms. Constable, Gainsborough, Turner and the Making of Landscape will explore the development of the British School of Landscape Painting through the display of 120 works of art, comprising paintings, prints, books and archival material. Since the foundation of the Royal Academy of Arts in 1768, its Members included artists who were committed to landscape painting. The exhibition draws on the Royal Academy’s Collection to underpin the shift in landscape painting during the 18 th and 19 th centuries. From Founder Member Thomas Gainsborough and his contemporaries Richard Wilson and Paul Sandby, to JMW Turner and John Constable, these landscape painters addressed the changing meaning of ‘truth to nature’ and the discourses surrounding the Beautiful, the Sublime and the Picturesque. The changing style is represented by the generalised view of Gainsborough’s works and the emotionally charged and sublime landscapes by JMW Turner to Constable’s romantic scenes infused with sentiment. Highlights include Gainsborough’s Romantic Landscape (c.1783), and a recently acquired drawing that was last seen in public in 1950. Constable’s two great landscapes of the 1820s, The Leaping Horse (1825) and Boat Passing a Lock (1826) will be hung alongside Turner’s brooding diploma work, Dolbadern Castle (1800).

  • Chapter Eleven
    Chapter eleven he greater opportunities for patronage and artistic fame that London could offer lured many Irish artists to seek their fortune. Among landscape painters, George Barret was a founding Tmember of the Royal Academy; Robert Carver pursued a successful career painting scenery for the London theatres and was elected President of the Society of Artists while, even closer to home, Roberts’s master George Mullins relocated to London in 1770, a year after his pupil had set up on his own in Dublin – there may even have been some connection between the two events. The attrac- tions of London for a young Irish artist were manifold. The city offered potential access to ever more elevated circles of patronage and the chance to study the great collections of old masters. Even more fundamental was the febrile artistic atmosphere that the creation of the Royal Academy had engen- dered; it was an exciting time to be a young ambitious artist in London. By contrast, on his arrival in Dublin in 1781, the architect James Gandon was dismissive of the local job prospects: ‘The polite arts, or their professors, can obtain little notice and less encouragement amidst such conflicting selfish- ness’, a situation which had led ‘many of the highly gifted natives...[to] seek for personal encourage- ment and celebrity in England’.1 Balancing this, however, Roberts may have judged the market for landscape painting in London to be adequately supplied. In 1769, Thomas Jones, himself at an early stage at his career, surveyed the scene: ‘There was Lambert, & Wilson, & Zuccarelli, & Gainsborough, & Barret, & Richards, & Marlow in full possession of landscape business’.2 Jones concluded that ‘to push through such a phalanx required great talents, great exertions, and above all great interest’.3 As well as the number of established practitioners in the field there was also the question of demand.

It explores a number of trajectories embarked upon by Boydell and his artists in their collective attempt to promote an English aesthetic. It broadly argues that the Shakespeare Gallery offered an antidote to a variety of perceived problems which had emerged at the Royal Academy over the previous twenty years, defining itself against Academic theory and practice. Identifying and examining the cluster of spatial, ideological and aesthetic concerns which characterised the Shakespeare Gallery, my research suggests that the Gallery promoted a vision for a national art form which corresponded to contemporary senses of English cultural and political identity, and takes issue with current art-historical perceptions about the 'failure' of Boydell's scheme. The introduction maps out some of the existing scholarship in this area and exposes the gaps which art historians have previously left in our understanding of the Shakespeare Gallery.

  • Richard Wilson: Landscape Painting for a New Exhibition Culture
    1 Richard Wilson: Landscape painting for a new Exhibition Culture Laura Layfield MA by Research The University of York History of Art Department September 2010 25,040 words 2 ABSTRACT Richard Wilson (1714 – 1782) was considered by his contemporaries „ingenious‟1 and by his followers as „the father of British landscape painting‟.2 Painting in Italy and afterwards in Britain, Wilson was arguably the foremost British landscape painter of the eighteenth century. He painted in a classical style shaped by the works of masters such as Claude Lorrain, Gaspard Dughet and Nicholas Poussin and gained inspiration from his travels and classical literature. His life spanned much of a century which saw an enormous shift in the British art world with the onset of the annual public exhibition. This dissertation will consider Wilson‟s submissions to the Society of Artists‟ annual exhibitions between 1760 and 1768. I will argue that Wilson pursued a highly deliberate strategy of self-advertisement when choosing pieces to submit to these public exhibitions and consider the extent to which Wilson used the venue of the public exhibition to change public perceptions of landscape painting as a genre. 1 J.

  • John Boydell and the Depiction of Welsh Scenery in Reproductive Prints, 1750-1850 by Simon Cobb (Orcid.Org/0000-0002-2874-8657)
    John Boydell and the depiction of Welsh scenery in reproductive prints, 1750-1850 By Simon Cobb (orcid.org/0000-0002-2874-8657). The majority of the prints in the Welsh Landscape Collection were created during a period of lively and copious production that followed the spectacular revival of British printmaking in the mid-eighteenth century and extended to about 1830.1 This period saw British art rise to European prominence,2 with the patronage of printsellers and publishers playing a significant role in this development by financially assisting newly independent artists, freed from dependence on aristocratic sponsorship, while disseminating their work to the public.3 But one publisher dominated the print trade. John Boydell (plate I) was a vastly successful entrepreneur of international renown,4 who capitalised on his intermediary role between the artist and consumer to both advance the cause of painters and engravers and encourage the public’s taste for fine and reproductive art.5 His selection of paintings for publication and recruitment of gifted young engravers to reproduce them led to some of the most successful copperplates and exerted a considerable influence on the course of British art.6 The Welsh Landscape Collection consists of some 5,000 prints that the National Library of Wales has digitised and made freely available as an online resource. These images of Welsh scenery not only include views of towns, landmarks, such as castles, ecclesiastical buildings and manor houses, and the beauties of the natural environment, with pictures of rivers, lakes and mountains being abundant, but also industrial scenes, quarrying and factory interiors for example, and important events like King George IV’s visit to Holyhead and the construction of the Menai Suspension Bridge.
