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.

Michael "Angelo" Rooker's drawing depicts a rather more sedate if less thrilling sporting activity, the game of bowls. Dating back to the Middle Ages, and still popular in Britain today, bowls is played on grass by rolling heavy balls, known as "woods" so that they rest as closely as possible to the target ball, known as the "jack." The woods have a built-in bias that causes them to move in a curving rather than a straight trajectory. Bowling greens were frequently attached to country inn. In his Account of a Visit to Hurts of 1747, James Belchin described a convivial evening at the Bunch of Grapes: "This house is very pleasantly situated, and has belonging to it a large and handsome bowling-green for the diversion of those gentlemen who please to play. Being all assembled together we sat down and smoked our pipe and drank some wine in a very sociable manner." --- ---
