The Reception of Titian in Britain from Reynolds to Ruskin
This volume comprises sixteen essays on the reception of Titian by British painters, collectors and critics in the long nineteenth century. The main focus falls on the first three decades of the century, in the aftermath of the exhibition of the celebrated Orleans collection in London in 1798-99. But the chronology extends from Reynolds and his contemporaries, around the time of the founding of the Royal Academy in 1768, to the more diverse and complicated reactions of the Victorian age, and even into the twentieth century. This book was nominated on the long list for the William MB Berger Prize for British Art History 2014. This award was established in 2001 by the Berger Collection Educational Trust and The British Art Journal and is awarded annually to a book or exhibition catalogue that has made an outstanding contribution to the history of British art.
