This was the first major exhibition devoted to Richard Wilson (1714–1782) in thirty years. It explored Wilson’s work in its broader European contexts, focusing on his transformative experience in Rome, where he spent nearly seven years in the 1750s. The exhibition confronted fundamental questions about changes in taste in the middle years of the eighteenth century, which saw “the rise of landscape” as an independent genre that challenged accepted academic hierarchies. — —
It also explored how Wilson, as the “father of British landscape painting,” marketed his landscape art upon his return to England and how his work was understood after his death, influencing a generation of artists including John Constable and J. M. W. Turner. Many of Wilson’s greatest paintings and drawings were featured, along with key paintings by the earlier masters Claude Lorrain and Gaspard Dughet, as well as by Wilson’s contemporaries such as Pompeo Batoni, Anton Raphael Mengs, Francesco Zuccarelli, Charles Joseph Natoire, Joseph Vernet, Louis Gabriel Blanchet, and other artists associated with the Académie de France. Finally, the exhibition revealed how Wilson’s international pupils in Rome went on to become influential figures in their native countries. — —
Credits — —
Richard Wilson and the Transformation of European Landscape Painting was co-organized by the Center and Amgueddfa Cymru–National Museum Wales. It was on view at National Museum Cardiff from July 5 to October 26, 2014. The exhibition was co-curated by Robin Simon, Honorary Professor of English, University College London, and Editor, the British Art Journal, and Martin Postle, Deputy Director of Studies, the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art, London. The organizing curator at the Center was Scott Wilcox, Chief Curator of Art Collections and Senior Curator of Prints and Drawings; and, at Amgueddfa Cymru–National Museum Wales, Oliver Fairclough, Keeper of Art. The exhibition was accompanied by a book of the same title, published by the Center and Amgueddfa Cymru–National Museum Wales, in association with Yale University Press.

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.

Eighteenth-century popes used Castel Gandolfo as an occasional retreat from Rome, mainly in the spring and autumn. Cozens’s view of Lake Albano is taken from the Galleria di Sopra and captures the landscape at dusk, the papal villa silhouetted dramatically against the twilit sky. To the left, a solitary goatherd drives his flock home along the Galleria before darkness falls. To British Grand Tourists, this view evoked the very beginnings of Rome, in that Castel Gandolfo was believed to occupy the site of Alba Longa, the birthplace of Romulus and Remus (Northall, 1766, p. 378). When Thomas Jones visited in 1776 and walked from Castel Gandolfo to Lake Nemi nearby, he admired the landscape in eulogistic terms: --- ---
“This walk considered with respect to its classick locality, the Awful marks of the most tremendous Convulsions of nature in the remotest Ages, the antient and modern Specimens of Art, and the various extensive & delightful prospects it commands is, to the Scholar, naturalist, Antiquarian and Artist, without doubt, the most pleasing and interesting in the Whole World” (Jones, “Memoirs”, p. 55). --- ---
That this region held such an array of cultural associations explains the exceptional popularity of the design; there are at least eleven surviving versions of this watercolor from Cozens’s hand, each one slightly different in atmosphere and mood. In this example the mood is pastoral and the inclusion of the goatherd evokes the landscapes of Claude or the poetry of Virgil’s Eclogues. At the same time his archaic presence hints at what Protestant Englanders saw as the unenlightened and backward state of modern papal Rome. Surveying the decayed and uncultivated state of the Roman suburbs, compared to supposed English prosperity, William Beckford concluded they proved “how completely the papal government contrives to make its subjects miserable” (Beckford, “Dreams”, p. 190). --- ---

John Robert Cozens returned from his first visit to Italy in the spring of 1779. Three year later made a second Italian tour, this time in the company of his father's pupil, patron, and friend William Beckford. Back in London in 1783, Cozens created finished watercolors for Beckford and other collectors based on sketches from his recent tour but also returning to the more striking and popular of his drawings for the earlier Italian visit.
As did many other landscape painters ad draftsmen of the period (one thinks of Richard Wilson with his many repetitions of his paintings of Italy), Cozens produced numerous versions of his more popular compositions. The Lake of Albano and Castel Gandolfo was certainly one of the most popular, known in at least ten variants. The differences in tone and handling of the two versions in the Yale Center for British Art suggest that these watercolors date from different periods in the artist's life and stylistic evolution. Andrew Wilton has suggested that the darker, richer, more densely worked version (cat. 103) can be associated with Cozen's first visit to Italy, while the lighter, freer handling of cat. 104 reflects the artist's manner of working in the years following his second Italian trip.
In both versions the Alban hills are given full weight and solidity by Cozen's technique of building form through the massing of delicate touches of subdued color. While Cozens's technical achievement was considerable and influential, it was also at the service of a sensibility that the great Romantic landscape painter John Constable described as "all poetry." The sense of light and atmosphere, as well as mystery and melancholy, that Cozens created in watercolors such as there se him apart from other contemporaries working in Italy, such as William Pars (cat. 100) or John "Warwick" Smith (cat. 74), and provided an important model for a younger generation of watercolorist, which included Thomas Girtin (cat. 143) and J.M.W. Turner (cat. 144). --- ---
