Discussions about dilettantes, virtuosos and antiquaries of the 18th century were based on the modern understanding of
such professions as a historian, archaeologist, art critic. As many British historians have shown, traits associated with professionals
in these areas of the 19th and 20th centuries were usually absent in the 16th and 17th centuries. To regard the dilettantes and
virtuosos of the eighteenth century as amateurs is an anachronism. These people were for the most part well-educated, dedicated
to the study and collecting of art. Along with a narrow view of this movement, it should be noted that dilettantes represented a
certain social stratum in high English society, which had a significant impact on the process of mutual influence of science and
education. Contemporaries believed that art played a vital role in the improvement of society, and amateurs had an important
influence on the dissemination of knowledge.
