The History of the Society of Dilettanti is a book written by Lionel Cust, originally published in 1898. The Society of Dilettanti was a group of British aristocrats and intellectuals who were interested in the arts and culture of ancient Greece and Rome. The book provides a detailed account of the society’s origins, purpose, and activities, including their travels to Italy and Greece, their sponsorship of archaeological expeditions, and their patronage of artists and scholars. Cust also examines the social and cultural context of the society, including its relationship with the Royal Academy and other cultural institutions of the time. The book includes numerous illustrations and photographs of the society’s members, as well as examples of the art and architecture that they collected and studied. Overall, The History of the Society of Dilettanti is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of British art and culture in the 18th and 19th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
