By Joseph Farington

This volume captures the detailed personal journals of Joseph Farington, an influential English landscape painter and member of the Royal Academy, covering the period from August 28, 1802, to September 13, 1804. As a prominent figure in the London art world, Farington provides an unparalleled glimpse into the social, political, and artistic landscape of Regency England.

The diary serves as a vital historical record, documenting the shifting cultural climate during the height of the Napoleonic era and offering firsthand accounts of Royal Academy proceedings and the development of British art. Farington's observations extend beyond the studio, capturing the public mood and the intricate social networks of early 19th-century London.
