Additional quotes by Joshua Reynolds

Words should be employed as the means, not as the end: language is the instrument, conviction is the work.

Genius is supposed to be a power of producing excellencies, which are out of the reach of the rules of art; a power which no precepts can teach, and which no industry can acquire.

You must have no dependence on your own genius. If you have great talents, industry will improve them; if you have but moderate abilities, industry will supply their deficiency.

It must be remembered that painting is not the mere gratification of sight. - Joshua Reynolds
