In three parts often bound in two volumes it reflects the collaboration between Jonathan Richardson the Elder 1665–1745 a prominent English portraitist and theorist and his son Jonathan Richardson the Younger 1694–1771 with contributions from the Dutch scholars Antoine Rutgers and Lambert Ten Kate. The 'Traité' stands out as a foundational text in art theory combining practical advice critical methodology and first-hand observation all underpinned by a vision of art as a noble and communicative pursuit. Its influence extended to later theorists and artists cementing Richardson's legacy in the history of Western art discourse. </p> Herman Uytwerf hardcover

Rare in commerce and comparatively so institutionally ESTC recording seven copies in the UK and nine in the US and Canada. Jonathan Richardson 1667-1745 was a painter but has had more lasting influence as a writer on the theory of art. His first writing on the subject was An Essay on the Theory of Painting 1715 which is said to have inspired Joshua Reynolds. Richardson's 1722 Account of Some of the Statues Bas-Reliefs Drawings and Pictures in Italy was required reading for English aristocrats off on their Grand Tour and many of its ideas and theories were adopted by Winckelmann. The Two Discourses in this book are essentially essays on taste and a plea to take more seriously the development of an aesthetic sensibility.
