Royal Academy Exhibition of 1792

The Royal Academy Exhibition of 1792 was the twenty forth annual Summer Exhibition of the British Royal Academy of Arts. It was held at Somerset House in London between 30 April and 9 June 1792. It was the first to be held following the death of Sir Joshua Reynolds, who had served as President of the Royal Academy since its foundation in 1768 and one of the driving forces of British art during his lifetime. Nonetheless, it was considered as showing the continued strength of the institution with growing numbers of submissions and financial earnings.
