Book synopsis

Bringing into relief the singularity of Barry's unswerving commitment to his vision for history painting despite adverse cultural, political and commercial currents, these essays on Barry and his contemporaries offer new perspectives on the painter's life and career. Contributors, including some of the best known experts in the field of British eighteenth-century studies, set Barry's works and statements into [a] rich political and social contexts, particularly in Britain. Among other notable achievements, the essays shed new light on the influence which Barry's Radical ideology and his Catholicism had on his art; explore his relationship with Reynolds and Blake; and discuss his aesthetics in the context of Burke and Wollstonecraft as well as Fuseli and Payne Knight. The volume is an indispensable resource for scholars of eighteenth-century century British painting, patronage, aesthetics, and political history.
