Sir Joshua Reynolds PRA FRS FRSA (16 An t-Iuchar 1723 - 23 An Gearran 1792) was an English painter, specialising in portraits. John Russell said he was one of the major European painters of the 18th century.[1] He promoted the “Grand Style” 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, air 16 An t-Iuchar 1723[2] the third son of the Rev. Samuel Reynolds, maighstir Sgoil Ghràmair Shaor Plympton sa bhaile. Bha athair air a bhith na chompanach de Cholaiste Bhalliol, Oxford, ach cha do chuir e gin de a mhic don oilthigh.[3] B' e Màiri Palmer fear de a pheathraichean (1716–1794), seachd bliadhna 'n a shine, ùghdar Devonshire Dialogue, thathar ag ràdh gun tug a ghràdh air tarraing mòran buaidh air nuair a bha e na bhalach.
Ann an 1740 thug i seachad £60, leth den phrìs a phàigh Tòmas Hudson am peantair dhealbhan, air son sgoileireachd Iosua, agus naoi bliadhna 'na dheigh sin thug e airgiod air son a chosgaisean anns an Eadailt. Am measg a pheathraichean eile bha Frances Reynolds agus Ealasaid Johnson.
Mar bhalach, thàinig e fo bhuaidh Zachariah Mudge, a dh'fhuirich feallsanachd Platonach còmhla ris fad a bheatha. Rinn Reynolds earrannan anns an leabhar cumanta aige bho Theophrastus, Plutarch, Seneca, Marcus Antonius, Oibheid, Uilleam Shakespeare, Iain Milton, Alasdair Pàpa, Iain Dryden, Eòsaph Addison, Ridseard Steele, Aphra Behn, agus earrannan air teòiridh ealain le Leonardo da Vinci, Teàrlach Alphonse du Fresnoy, agus André Felibien.
B’ e an obair a thug a’ bhuaidh as motha air Reynolds An Essay on the Theory of Painting le Jonathan Richardson. (1715). Reynolds’ chaidh leth-bhreac le nota a chall airson faisg air dà cheud bliadhna gus an do nochd e ann am bùth leabhraichean ann an Cambridge, air a sgrìobhadh leis an ainm-sgrìobhte ‘J. Reynolds dealbhadair', agus tha e a-nis ann an cruinneachadh Acadamaidh Rìoghail nan Ealan, Lunnainn.
