To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Also it had painters of its own. The beauty of Hogarth's painting has suffered in the general estimate through interest in the story of his pictures, which can be followed most conveniently in the engrav- ings. His pictures where they are seen at all are often glanced at carelessly. The story of Marriage a la Mode is well enough known already in black and white ; why waste valuable time looking at the coloured version ? Reynolds has suffered in another way by the perishing of his colours. But s...urely there is enough of Hogarth, Reynolds, and Gainsborough — one might add Canaletto, a London painter — to prove that the eighteenth century in England was not colour-blind. Reynolds perhaps may be called to prove some points of rather doubtful value in the character of the eighteenth century. Did he not comply too much with ' a hypocritical and hackneyed course of literature ', the conventional idealism of the conventional grand style, in his discourses to the Royal Academy ? But that may 8 THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY bo loft for another inquiry.
