Summary

"Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723-92) holds a preeminent place in the history of British portraiture. . .For this new anthology, only the very finest works have been chosen, often with details made from specially taken photographs. Although many of Reynolds's best works are in museums, in both England and the United States, a large number are still owned by the families who originally commissioned them. The paintings reproduced are taken from all these sources. The lively introduction gives a survey of Reynolds's life and work and discusses his place in British eighteenth-century art. The text also includes interesting appendixes, a list of pictures exhibited in the artist's lifetime and full biographical and bibliographical details." /, Jacket
