| 520 | 2 | # | $a In his Stereography Hamilton adapts and expands many of the ideas of Brook Taylor, whom he admired. Declaring that the painter should cultivate the 'art' rather than the 'sense' of seeing, he quickly moves into regions beyond the concerns of most artists. Turner is known to have been familiar with this work; most artists probably preferred the more accessible manuals of Joshua Kirby and Thomas Malton. |
