Born three hundred years ago in Smithfield, London, William Hogarth established himself as a central figure in eighteenthcentury English culture through his paintings, engravings, and outspoken art criticism. In this new edition of Hogarths Analysis of Beautya unique work combining theory with practical advice on paintingRonald Paulson includes the complete text of the original work; an introduction that places the Analysis in the tradition of aesthetic treatises and Hogarths own moral works; extensive annotation of the text and accompanying illustrations; and illuminating manuscript passages that Hogarth omitted from the final printed version.In the development of English aesthetics, the Analysis of Beauty takes a position of high significance. Hogarths stature in his own time suggests the importance of his attempt to systematize and theorize his own artistic practice. What he proposes is an aesthetics of the middle range, subordinating both the Beautiful and the Sublime to the everyday world of human choice and contingencyessentially the world of Hogarths own modern moral subjects, his engraved works.Published for the Paul Mellon Center for Studies in British Art
