| schema:text | “Between 1762 and 1771, Walpole issued his four-volume ‘Anecdotes of Painting in England,’ based on the ‘Note-books’ of George Vertue, which he had acquired after Vertue’s death in 1756, but amplified by his own research. These ‘Anecdotes’ form a major component of early source material for the historiography of the arts in England, although they are strongly shaped by Walpole’s own prejudices. The fourth volume included his ‘History of the Modern Taste in Gardening,’ reissued separately in 1785. Though it is neither comprehensive nor exact, the fluency of style of this essay and its memorable phrasing have ensured its status as the most important account of the art in 18th-century England” (Michael McCarthy, in The Dictionary of Art). |
