"It can only act as a blight on art, by engaging talents that might have stamped the Age with a character of its own, in the vain endeavour to reanimate deceased Art, in which the utmost that can be accomplished will be to reproduce a body without a soul." -- John Constable in a lecture to the Literary and Scientific Institution at Hampstead, notes taken by C.R. Leslie, 25 July 1836 |
