The examination of Sir Joshua Reynolds's life reveals how his ability to please played a crucial role in his success as a painter beyond his artistic talent. Richard Wendorf analyzes the interplay between Reynolds's work and the societal dynamics of eighteenth-century England, particularly in portrait-painting. This work serves as an innovative cultural critique, bridging art history and literary studies to provide deeper insights into the era's artistic landscape and Reynolds's enduring influence.
