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.

Like architects of the previous generation such as Sir William Chambers (cat.s116-17) and Robert Adam (cats. 120-1), Soane trained in Italy. While there, he studied ancient and Renaissance architecture and met both the influential Piranesi and potential aristocratic patrons. During his Sojourn, he developed his own highly individual interpretation of neoclassical forms and motifs that remained the hallmark of a style that attracted no real imitators or followers. The impact of Roman monuments such as the Pantheon is evident in Soane's design for the Saloon or Salon of Hinton St. George for the 4th Early of Pouloett. Low arches support a shallow dome, while light enters through clerestory windows in the lantern. The low vaulted space became a hallmark of Soane's style from his work as Surveyor to the Bank of England. Begun in 1788, where he remodeled the structure over a period d of thirty years. In contrast to Adam (cat. 121) Soane is spare in his décor and sketches in his treatment if individual elements, such as the framed painted decoration.
Draftsmanship was an important part of Soane's architectural practice. Unlike Adam, who demonstrated his designs in two-dimensions, Soane presented the client with a perspective view. In an 1809 lecture in his capacity as Professor of Architecture at the Royal Academy, he stressed that "the real effect of a composition in perspective presentation."
