- W587906233 abstract "In this intriguing book, Morris Brownell offers a fresh account of career and influence of Horace Walpole (1717-1797), great English man of letters and art historian. Rejecting both traditional view of Walpole as a trifling collector of curiosities and more recent assessment of him as a sober social historian and connoisseur, Brownell argues that Walpole grew to become a serious patron, collector, and historian of arts - the Prime Minister of Taste. Drawing on vast Walpole archival materials and on his astonishing forty volumes of letters, Brownell describes formation of young Walpole's taste and interest in visual arts. Brownell argues that England's leading portrait engraver, George Vertue, converted Walpole from Grand Tour taste in painting to a life-long study of English portraits. The book discusses significance of Walpole's collection of English historical portraits and French portraits of ancien regime, and it analyses Walpole's fascination with portraiture, comparing painted portraits Walpole collected and wrote about to literary portraits he penned in his letters. Walpole's passion for art of portraiture was not trifling pastime he pretended, Brownell says, in fact it was source of his greatest literary achievement - a gallery of literary portraits of English aristocracy as fine as painted portraits of Reynolds and Gainsborough." @default.
