The Analysis of Beauty

In this new edition of Hogarths Analysis of Beauty-a unique work combining theory with practical advice on painting-Ronald Paulson includes the complete text of the original work; an introduction that places the Analysis in the tradition of aesthetic treatises and Hogarths own moral works; extensive annotation of the text and accompanying illustrations; and illuminating manuscript passages that Hogarth omitted from the final printed version.

Notes: "The present edition is based on the first (and only) edition published during Hogarth’s lifetime, incorporating his errata in the text, and correcting obvious errors."--Pref.
