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 Swiss watercolorist and poet Samuel Hieronymous Grimm settled in London in 1768 and became well known for his topographical views and caricatures (see cats. 83-4). Situated on the edge of the expanding metropolis less than two miles from Westminster; Kennington was still a rural neighborhood at the time of Grimm's watercolor but was developed as a residential area soon thereafter. The opening of Westminster Bridge in 1750 and Kennington Road in the following year facilitated access to the West End, and the construction of Blackfriars Bridge and its approach roads between 1760 and 1769 made the relatively pastoral Kennington a desirable home for merchants working in the City. In the mid-nineteenth century the remnants of the common land were enclosed, and it was designated as a Royal Park.
Grimm's charming portrayal of bucolic activity and genteel recreation alludes neither to the area's traditional associations with radicalism and free speech, nor to its grim function as a place of execution until the end of the century. Kenninton Common was regularly used in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as a platform for political activists and dissenting religious preachers, including John Wesley, who addressed a crowd of 20,000 in the fall on 1739. The park is still used today as an assembly-point for political gatherings today. The south west corner of the Common was the site of a public gallows, where, most notoriously, nine Catholic members of the Manchester Regiment were hung, drawn, and quartered after the Jacobite rebellion on July 30, 1746. --- ---
