$a The engraved title-plate reads, 'De Arte Graphica · Liber'. Although the pagination runs continuously throughout the volume, the 'Short account of the most eminent painters' has its own title-page (which reads: 'A Short Account Of the most Eminent Painters, Both Ancient and Modern, Continued down to the Present Times, According to the Order of their Succession. By Richard Graham, Esq; The Second Edition, with large Additions. [Epigraph] London: Printed for Bernard Lintott, between the Temple-Gates, in Fleet-street.'). The ESTC catalogues an issue in which the imprint of the title page reads, 'London: Printed for B.L.and sold by William Taylor, at the Ship in Pater-Noster-Row, 1716.' Du Fresnoy's Latin poem was originally published shortly after his death in 1668. It was followed by translations into French (1668), English (prose) (1695), German (1699), Italian (1713) and Dutch (1733). Du Fresnoy opens his poem by declaring that 'As poetry shall be like a painting, so should painting be like poetry'. Beauty should be interpreted in different ways - as may be seen in such famous ancient statues as the Antinous, the Hercules, the Venus, the dying Gladiator. Besides Du Fresnoy's Latin poem and Dryden's English prose translation the present volume includes a translation of the Remarks with which Roger de Piles accompanied his French version of the poem (1668), Richard Graham's 'Short Account Of the most Eminent Painters', and Pope's poem 'To Mr. Jervas'. While President of the Royal Academy, Sir Joshua Reynolds published extensive notes on Du Fresnoy's Art of Painting (in William Mason's new translation) (1783). |
