- Abstract (en)
- Funnell uses the viewpoints of these two critics to represent two more widely held bodies of belief, and to expose crucial issues in British artistic debate of the first decade or so of the 19th c. Hazlitt's and Hoare's opinions reveal fundamentally opposing conceptions of the nature of painting, its function in society, and the history of the art. Hoare articulates the case for history painting in its most pure and elevated form - an art necessarily occupying a place in the public sphere - while Hazlitt questions the assumptions behind these arguments and conceives of painting as an essentially private art form. Funnell examines these issues with reference to the particular circumstances of the early 1800s and especially the rise of art institutions and the prevalence of writings urging the encouragement of history painting.
