Guglielmo [William] Hogarth: L'analisi della bellezza, Livorno: Giovanni Paolo Fantechi, 1761 (FONTES 58) AV - public UR - https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/artdok/1353/ N2 - FONTES 58 is a supplement to three previous numbers of FONTES (52, 53, 54), which treated William Hogarth?s "Analysis of Beauty". Number 58 examines the almost completely unstudied Italian translation of Hogarth?s "Analysis" published in Livorno in 1761, three years before Hogarth?s death. The name of the translator is unknown, and the identity of the "dama inglese", Diana Molineux (Molyneux), to whom the book is dedicated, remains a mystery, as do the reasons why the book was dedicated to her. She apparently did not live in Livorno, or even in Tuscany, and the publisher, Giovanni Paolo Fantechi, who writes the dedication, had never met her. Information about the printer Fantechi is assembled, and his relationship with the poet, librettist, and publisher, Marco Coltellini is examined. Full texts of the dedication and the table of contents of the "Analisi" (1761) are published. FONTES 58 also asks if an untraced Italian translation of 1754, first cited in the nineteenth century, ever actually existed and concludes that this work is most likely a bibliographical phantom. An Addendum (Nachtrag) to FONTES 58 contains a complete digital facsimile of the text of the 1761 Italian edition of Hogarth?s 'Analysis.

In addition there are included full texts of: (1) the dedication by Andreas Linde to Augusta of Saxe-Gotha, Dowager Princess of Wales, of the first German edition of the "Analysis of Beauty" ("Zergliederung der Schönheit", London: Linde 1754); (2) texts by Gotthold Ephriam Lessing and Christian Friedrich Voß relating to Christlob Mylius and to Hogarth?s "Analysis of Beauty" which were published in the "Berliner Privilegierte Zeitung" (7 March 1754, 30 May 1754, 25 June 1754, 1 July 1754). Among these is Lessing?s review of the "Zergliederung der Schönheit" (London 1754). ID - artdok1218 KW - Traktat / Ästhetik ED - Davis, Charles TI - Hogarth for Germany - "Made in England".

Verbesserter und vermehrter Abdruck.(Berlin und Potsdam: Christian Friedrich Voß, 1754) (Excerpts/Auszüge) (FONTES 53) Y1 - 2010/// ER - TY - BOOK N2 - FONTES 52 contains a searchable electronic full text of the first edition of William Hogarth?s "Analysis of Beauty" (London 1753). This book represents Hogarth?s most important and most complete art theoretical statement. In this work Hogarth attempts to give the concept of beauty a new and more exact definition ? to explain why objects are beautful, and thereby to provide a definite and stable foundation for "taste". The central element of Hogarth?s system is the serpentine "Line of Beauty" (or "Line of Grace"), an abstract concept of formal beauty which Hogarth attempts to illustrate and to prove by reference to many empirically observed examples drawn from nature and life. An introduction examines the treatise in terms of the contrast between Hogarth?s native empiricism and his theory of formal beauty. A summary analysis of the structure and content of the Hogarthian system is attempted. Hogarth?s arguments are mainly contained in the "book" proper (pages 1-153), while he justifes and defends his arguments in terms of tradition in his preface (pages iii-xxii). Detailed descriptions of the editions of the "Analysis" until 1914 are given, and references to later editions and translations are included, as well as citations of literature about Hogarth and his treatise.
