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. — —

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.

Although many British and Dutch artists of the eighteenth century made their careers as marine painters, documenting and celebrating the great naval battles of the period, the Dutch painter, etcher, and draftsman Dirk Langendijk's specialization in military scenes was more unusual. In carefully wrought drawings, which in the combination of pen and ink and watercolor mirror the topographical and marine drawings of his British contemporaries, he recorded the military campaigns waged for control of his native Holland in the later years of the century.
This watercolor is one of two by Langendijk in the Yale center for British Art showing British troops in the Netherlands during the Anglo-Russian expedition in 1799. It depicts British troops disembarking in North Holland in the late summer at the start of a short, unsuccessful campaign to instigate a counter-revolution against the French-supported Batavian Republic and secure the restoration of the House of Orange. The faint inscription "ad vivum' indicates that Langendijk was an eyewitness to the scene, although the fine detail and careful finish of the drawing hardly suggest a work executed on the spot.\n\n
