Sir Joshua Reynolds PRA FRS FRSA (16 july 1723 - 23 febrewaris 1792) wie in Ingelske skilder, specializing in portraits. John Russell said he was one of the major European painters of the 18th century He promoted the “Grutte styl” in painting which depended on idealization of the imperfect. He was a founder and first president of the Royal Academy of Arts, and was knighted by George III in 1769.
Reynolds was born in Plympton, Devon, op 16 july 1723[2] the third son of the Rev. Samuel Reynolds, master of the Plympton Free Grammar School in the town. His father had been a fellow of Balliol College, Oxford, but did not send any of his sons to the university.[3] One of his sisters was Mary Palmer (1716–1794), seven years his senior, author of Devonshire Dialogue, whose fondness for drawing is said to have had much influence on him when a boy.
Yn 1740 she provided £60, half of the premium paid to Thomas Hudson the portrait-painter, for Joshua’s pupilage, and nine years later advanced money for his expenses in Italy. His other siblings included Frances Reynolds and Elizabeth Johnson.
As a boy, he came under the influence of Zachariah Mudge, whose Platonistic philosophy stayed with him all his life. Reynolds made extracts in his commonplace book from Theophrastus, Plutarch, Seneca, Marcus Antonius, Ovid, William Shakespeare, John Milton, Alexander Pope, John Dryden, Joseph Addison, Richard Steele, Aphra Behn, and passages on art theory by Leonardo da Vinci, Charles Alphonse Du Fresnoy, en André Félibien.
It wurk dat de meast ynfloedrike ynfloed op Reynolds kaam te hawwen wie Jonathan Richardson's An Essay on the Theory of Painting (1715). Reynolds’ Annotearre eksimplaar gie hast twahûndert jier ferlern oant it ferskynde yn in Cambridge-boekwinkel, opskreaun mei de hantekening 'J. Reynolds Pictor', en is no yn 'e kolleksje fan' e Royal Academy of Arts, Londen.
