Abstract (en)

Explores the ways in which the posthumous reputations of Sir Joshua Reynolds and William Hogarth were shaped by a variety of interests during the period 1792 (the year of Reynolds's death) and 1830 (the year of William Hazlitt's death). On a broader level the intention is to show how, during the post-Revolutionary period, successive self-appointed arbiters of taste sought to condition the parameters of British high visual culture according to their own political - as well as artistic - interests.
