Reynolds’s essays against Hogarth
In three essays for the journal “The Idler”, Joshua Reynolds, later the founder of the Royal Academy, was, according to the art historian David Bindman, aiming at Hogarth; in essay no. 79 he questions Hogarth’s notion of the imitation of nature, favouring the “grand style”. Horace Walpole also criticised Hogarth as a history painter, though he found value in his satirical prints.
