The eighteenth century in Britain witnessed an extraordinary flourishing of the practice of drawing, among both professional artists and amateurs. This exhibition of one hundred outstanding drawings and watercolors from the Yale Center for British Art celebrated the richness and diversity of its eighteenth century holdings—rivaled only by the great national collections in London—and examined the professional and social roles played by draftsmanship during the period. Among the highlights were works by William Blake, Alexander and John Robert Cozens, Henry Fuseli, Thomas Gainsborough, Allan Ramsay, Paul Sandby, and William Hogarth (whose controversial and innovative theory of the “Line of Beauty” suggested the title for the exhibition). — —
Ranging from large-scale highly finished exhibition watercolors to informal sketches intended for private use and enjoyment, the drawings were arranged in illuminating thematic and contextual groupings: the portrait, landscape, the city, science and natural history, sports and amusements, and the life of the artist. — —
Credits — —
Curated at the Center by Scott Wilcox, Curator of Prints and Drawings, and Gillian Forrester, Assistant Curator of Prints and Drawings, The Line of Beauty also featured drawing manuals and instructional literature of the period, selected from the Center’s rich collection of rare books.

The Irish artist Hugh Douglas Hamilton trained at the Dublin Society Drawing School, where he showed considerable talent as a draftsman. By 1757 he was practicing successfully as a portraitist in crayons, producing attractive pastels in a hallmark oval format. According to his friend Thomas Mulvany, Hamilton's drawings were "laid in with very few colours, the prevailing tone of which was grey, and then finished with red and black chalk. They were marked with great skill and truth, the features, particularly, the eyes, were expressed with great feeling; but…they had all the appearance of having been hurried rather than neglected." As Mulvany observed, Hamilton's early pastels often seemed unfinished and indicate that the artist was already working under great pressures to fulfill the demands of his large clientele.
In 1764 Hamilton moved to London, where he enlarged his repertoire to include large full-length pastel portraits rivaling those of Daniel Gardner (see cat. 9) His portrait practice was so successful that "he could scarcely execute all the orders that came in upon him," but like many of his contemporaries, Hamilton resented the drudgery of portraiture, and in 1779 he went to Rome to pursue his cherished ambition of becoming a history painter. He remained there for thirteen years, but economic necessity forced him to return reluctantly to Dublin (exile for one who truly loves art," Hamilton observed bitterly) and resumed his portrait practice. Hamilton abandoned pastels in 1793. The ecclesiastical subject of cat. 11 has not been identified, nor has the drawing been securely dated, but in execution it is similar to portraits known to have been produced in London in the 1770s. --- ---
