| Summary | "The Collected Works of William Hazlitt, Vol. 09 (of 12)" by William Hazlitt is a compilation of essays on fine arts written in the early 19th century. This volume primarily explores various picture galleries in England and includes Hazlitt's notes on a journey through France and Italy, as well as miscellaneous essays on art. The book serves to illuminate Hazlitt's deep appreciation and critique of visual art, underlining his philosophical reflections on beauty and aesthetics. The opening of this volume presents an engaging introduction to Hazlitt's exploration of the principal picture galleries in England, starting with Mr. Angerstein’s collection. As Hazlitt describes the atmosphere and allure of art, he expresses admiration for the intrinsic value of genuine works over mere reproductions. The opening chapter invites readers into a contemplative space, where the emotional resonance triggered by art allows for an escape from mundane concerns. Hazlitt reflects on his personal experiences with notable artworks, emphasizing how these pieces captivate the viewer’s imagination and evoke profound feelings, establishing a connection between the observer and timeless beauty.
