This conference addresses issues arising from the exhibitionPaul Sandby: Picturing Britain, organised by the Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery (25 July–18 October 2009; National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh,7 November 2009–7 February 2010; Royal Academy of Arts,London, 13 March–13 June 2010). It is the first exhibitionto bring together drawings, paintings and prints by thisimportant, if neglected, artist. It spans his long career,initially as a military draughtsman and then as a professionalartist, from the Act of Union following the failure of the 1745Jacobite Rebellion to the wars with France at the century’send. His art is arguably unrivalled among that of his contem-poraries in its portrayal of a range of subjects – rural andurban, modern and historical – in a country experiencingrapid social change and commercial development.

The Society of Dilettanti: Archaeol-ogy and Identity in the BritishEnlightenment by Jason M. Kelly

In 1732, a group of elite young men,calling themselves the Society ofDilettanti, held their first meetingin London. The qualification formembership was travel to Italy wherethe original members had met eachother on the grand tour. Formed asa convivial dining society, by themiddle of the eighteenth centurythe Dilettanti took on an influentialrole in cultural matters. It was thefirst European organization fullyto subsidize an archaeologicalexpedition to the lands of classicalGreece, and its members wereimportant sponsors of new insti-tutions such as the Royal Academyand the British Museum. This livelyand illuminating account, based onextensive archival research, is themost detailed analysis of the earlySociety of Dilettanti to date. Notsimply an institutional biography,it sheds new light on eighteenth-century grand tourism, elitemasculinity, sociability, aesthetics,architecture and archaeology.

Ruskin on Venice ‘The Paradise ofCities’ by Robert Hewison

For John Ruskin, Venice representedhis ideal of civic society, where culture,government and faith were in creativeharmony – ‘The Paradise of Cities’.This was not the fallen city of the Renaissance, the Paradise Lost that itbecame in his lifetime, but the GothicEden that he imagined had existedbefore the sixteenth century. In thiselegant and compelling book, Ruskin’slong and intricate relationship withthe city is traced: from 1835 hewatched Venice change from post-Napoleonic ruin to a province of theAustrian Empire, and then experiencenew ruin in the revolution of 1848.Venice was witness to the failure of hismarriage, and, later, the collapse of hishopes for a new one. By the time ofRuskin’s final visit in 1888, the marchof modernity had made Venice a deadreplica of its former glory. Hewisondraws on the rich resources of Ruskin’sdrawings, architectural notebooks andmanuscripts (including previouslyunpublished daguerreotypes fromRuskin’s own collection).

Robert Hewison is Professor of Cultural Policy and LeadershipStudies at the City University, London.He writes for the Sunday Times and isthe author of many books.

This book provides an iconographicsurvey of the single-sheet printsproduced in Britain during the earlymodern era and brings to light somevery recent discoveries. This largebody of material is treated themati-cally, and within each theme,chronologically.

The concludingchapter considers the significanceof this wealth of visual material forthe cultural history of England inthe early modern era. Tracing theEuropean sources of many of theseprints leads to the surprisingrecognition of the influence of theGerman print repertoire that demandsa re-appraisal of cultural relationsbetween Eng land and Germanyduring the early modern era.

Churches in Early Medieval Irelandby Tomás Ó Carragáin

This is the first book devoted tochurches in Ireland from the arrivalof Christianity in the fifth centuryto the early stages of the Romanesquearound 1100, including those builtto house treasures of the goldenage of Irish art such as the Bookof Kells and the Ardagh chalice.A comprehensive sur vey of thesurviving examples forms thebasis for a far-reaching analysisof why these buildings looked asthey did, and what they meant inthe context of early Irish society.The striking simplicity of thesebuildings is a result not of ignoranceof architecture elsewhere in Europe,but of an imperative to perpetuate abuilding form derived largely fromRomano-British and biblical exem-plars, that had become associated withthe saints who had christianisedIreland and founded its great ecclesi-astical centres. Intended to recalldistant sacred topographies, the IrishRomanesque represents the perpetua-tion of a long-established architecturaltradition.
