Summary "The Collected Works of William Hazlitt, Vol. 06 (of 12)" by William Hazlitt is a collection of essays written during the early 19th century. It includes contributions under the title "Table Talk: or, Original Essays on Men and Manners" alongside conversations about the artist James Northcote, showcasing Hazlitt's reflections on art, nature, and the human condition. The volume is characterized by personal and philosophical musings, offering insights into Hazlitt's views on painting and the creative process. The opening of this volume presents an essay on "The Pleasure of Painting," where Hazlitt extols the joys and challenges of the artistic endeavor. He vividly describes the peaceful yet intense engagement with nature that painting entails, contrasting it with the more contentious nature of writing. The passage emphasizes the tranquility found in the practice of art and reflects on the personal growth and insights gained through the act of painting. Hazlitt shares anecdotes from his early attempts at painting, expressing the profound satisfaction and sense of discovery he experienced, thus setting an introspective tone for the essays to follow.
