EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of an art school in the 18th century. Engraved by William Pether, this mezzotint showcases the Drawing Academy, a place where aspiring artists gathered to refine their skills and unleash their creativity. The image depicts a class in session, with students diligently sketching away at their easels. The atmosphere is filled with intense focus as both male and female pupils immerse themselves in studying classical sculptures placed on plinths around the room. The presence of a nude female figure adds an element of artistic exploration and challenges traditional norms. The interior exudes an air of sophistication, adorned with elegant decor that reflects the Georgian era. This setting provides an ideal backdrop for young artists to learn and grow under the guidance of experienced instructors like Joseph Wright of Derby. Education takes center stage here as these talented individuals engage in meticulous observation and practice. Their dedication to honing their craft is evident through every stroke captured within this print. Donated by Paul Mellon to Yale Center for British Art, this artwork serves as a reminder of our rich artistic heritage.
