Book excerpt: Bruce Redford re-creates the vibrant culture of connoisseurship in Enlightenment England by investigating the multifaceted activities and achievements of the Society of Dilettani. Elegantly and wittily he dissects the British connoisseurs whose expeditions, collections, and publications laid the groundwork for the Neoclassical revival and for the scholarly study of Graeco-Roman antiquity. After the foundation of the society in 1732, the Dilettani commissioned portraits of the members. Including a striking group of mock-classical and mock-religious representations, these portraits were painted by George Knapton, Sir Joshua Reynolds, and Sir Thomas Lawrence. During the second half of the century, the society’s expeditions to the Levant yielded a series of pioneering architectural folios, beginning with the first volume The Antiquities of Athens in 1762. These monumental volumes aspired to empirical exactitude in text and image alike. They prepared the way for Specimens of Antient Sculpture (1809), which combines the didactic (detailed investigations into technique, condition, restoration, and provenance) with the connoisseurial (plates that bring the illustration of ancient sculpture to new artistic heights). The Society of Dilettanti’s projects and publications exemplify the Enlightenment ideal of the gentleman amateur, which is linked in turn to a culture of wide-ranging curiosity.

Excerpt: ...required for the mission, in connexion with which an interesting incident is worth recording. 'Jan. 3, 1813. Upon a letter being read from Sir Henry Charles Englefield to Lord Dundas as well as another from the same to the President of the day Mr. Dickenson expressing that he had received from Mr. Gell some time since a draft for between nine hundred and a thousand pounds and being at that time in the country and not being certain of the amount of the balance of the money belonging to the Society in the Bankers hands he had paid this draft from his own pocket. The whole Society appeared extremely sensible of the handsome proceeding on his part and Lord Morpeth immediately got up and moved that the thanks of the Society be given to Sir Henry Charles Englefield our Secretary for his liberal conduct, which motion being seconded by Mr. William Spencer was carried unanimously and with applause. A vote of the further credit of ijoo was moved and carried. It was also ordered that the first payment from that sum should be employed in repaying Sir H. C. Englefield the sum he had so liberally and kindly advanced.' The first instalment of drawings and measurements sent home by Mr. Gell, comprising the antiquities of Eleusis, was put in hand for engraving at once. The travellers returned in the summer of 1813; and Return of the Dilettanti at their next meeting, on February 6, 1814, unanimously voted their thanks to Mr. Gell for his great services to the Society and to learning moved by Mr. Knight, seconded by Mr. Wilbraham, 'That the Secretary do direct Mr. Lawrence painter to the Society forthwith to paint the picture of Mr. Gell at the expence of the Society and that the picture when finished be hung up in the Room of the Society.'
