Lectures on painting : delivered at the Royal Academy March 1801
Lectures on Painting, delivered at the Royal Academy in 1801 and printed in London for J. Johnson, is a published set of academic lectures by the painter Henry Fuseli, with plates engraved by Francis Legat and William Blake. The two pictures are engraved plates: a seated, hunched figure with long hair pulled over the knees, and a standing bearded man in a fur-trimmed cloak leaning on a staff. Designers can take from them the dense cross-hatched line and oval vignette framing used for classical and dramatic figure studies.
