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 strands of ideal and topographical landscape, quite separate and distinct at the beginning of the eighteenth century - and in the work of Lens - would become increasingly entwined over the course of the century. William Taverner, a lawyer and amateur draftsman and painter, felt less constraint in combining classical elements with observation of the English countryside. George Vertue credited Taverner with "a wonderful genius to drawing of Landskap in an excellent manner, adorned with figures in a stile above the common." The inscription on the verso of Nymphs Bathing in a Glade, just such a figure adorned landscape, suggests that in this work Taverner echoed, if not copied, a composition by the seventeenth-century Dutch Italianate painter Cornelis Poelenbergh.
Despite his amateur status Taverner's landscapes were much admired and his drawings collected by professional artists such as Paul Sandby and connoisseurs such as Richard Payne Knight. At his death the Gentleman's Magazine deemed him 'one of the best landscape painters England has ever produced." He has continued to be regarded as one of the important early contributors to the rise of landscape painting in England. --- ---
