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.

According to Thomas Jones, Pars took advantage of the study grant offered by the Society of Dilettanti to escape England in the company of the wife of the miniaturist Samuel Smart, with whom he was having an affair. They arrived in Rome on 25 December 1775 and took lodgings near the Via del Babuino. His companion died of consumption in 1778; Pars died four years later as the result of having caught cold while sketching at Tivoli. ---
Pars’s watercolor, painted early in his stay in the city, shows the view from the Pincian Hill, not far from his lodgings, looking toward the church of Trinità dei Monti and the top of the Spanish Steps. Rising behind is the Palazzo del Quirinale, the papal summer residence. It was in the streets around the Piazza di Spagna that British artists and indeed many visiting artists from across northern Europe congregated. Pars masterfully gradates his watercolor tones not only to establish distance but to give an almost palpable sense of the heat and haze hanging over the city and the shimmer of sunlight on the tiled rooftops. --- ---

In 1764 the Society of Dilettanti, an association of gentlemen formed to promote the appreciation of ancient art, commissioned the young classical scholar Richard Chandler to record the classical ruins of Asia Minor. William Pars, a twenty-two-year-old portrait painter, was chosen to accompany Chandler as draftsman. Pars's watercolors from the expedition were published by the Society in 1769 as illustrations to Chandler's account under the title Ionian Antiquities. The following year one of the Society's members, Lord Palmerston, asked Pars to accompany him on a tour of Switzerland. As part of Palmerston's entourage, Pars visited Rome for the first time. ---
In 1775 the Society of Dilettanti's first award to an artist for study in Rome Allowed Pars to return to the city. He lived there for the last seven years of his life, at the heart of a community pf visiting British watercolorists that included John "Warwick" Smith (cat. 74), Francis Towne (cat. 53), and Pars's watercolor of the view from the Pincian Hill, in which the heat and haze hanging over the city are almost palpable, shows the area around the Spanish steps where British artists in Rome congregated. --- ---
