Sir Joshua Reynolds (July 16, 1723–February 23, 1792) was the most important and influential of eighteenth-century English painters, specialising in portraits and promoting the "Grand Style" in Sir Joshua Reynolds painting which depended on idealization of the imperfect. The painter was one of the founders and first President of the Royal Academy. George III appreciated his merits and knighted him in 1769. |

| Reynolds was born in Plympton St Maurice, Devon, on 16 July 1723, and apprenticed in 1740 to the fashionable portrait painter Thomas Hudson [1701-1779], with whom Sir Joshua Reynolds remained until 1743. From 1749 to 1752, he spent over two years in Italy, mainly in Rome, where the painter studied the Old Masters and acquired a taste for the "Grand Style". From 1753 on, Joshua Reynolds lived and worked in London. he became a close friend of Dr Johnson, Oliver Goldsmith, Edmund Burke, Henry Thrale, David Garrick and fellow artist Angelica Kauffmann [1741-1807]. Joshua Reynolds was one of the earliest members of the Royal Society of Art: Joshua Reynolds encouraged that society's interest in contemporary art and, with Gainsborough, established the Royal Academy as a spin-out organisation. |

| With his rival Thomas Gainsborough [1727-1788], Joshua Reynolds was the dominant English portraitist of the second half of the 18th century. | |||||||
|
Reynolds painted in more of an idealized fashion than his rival. He was a brilliant academic. His lectures (Discourses) on art, delivered at the Royal Academy between 1769 and 1790, are remembered for their sensitivity and perception. In one of these lectures the painter was of the opinion that "invention, strictly speaking, is little more than a new combination of those images which have been previously gathered and deposited in the memory." In 1789 Joshua Reynolds lost the sight of his left eye, and on 23 February 1792 Sir Joshua Reynolds died in his house in Leicester Fields, London. Joshua Reynolds was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral. | ||||||
