"Infant Academy, after Sir Joshua Reynolds" is a painting by the English artist William Hilton, created as a homage to the original work by Sir Joshua Reynolds, who was a leading English portraitist and the first president of the Royal Academy of Arts. Hilton's rendition of the "Infant Academy" is a testament to the influence Reynolds had on subsequent generations of British artists. The painting depicts a group of young children engaged in artistic pursuits, symbolizing the nurturing of artistic talent from a tender age and reflecting the ideals of education and cultivation of the arts that were central to the ethos of the Royal Academy.

William Hilton (1786–1839), although less well-known than Reynolds, was a respected historical painter in his own right and served as the Keeper of the Royal Academy. His version of "Infant Academy" is an example of the academic style of painting that was prevalent in the early 19th century, characterized by its focus on historical and classical subjects, as well as its emphasis on idealized beauty and form.

The original "Infant Academy" by Reynolds, created in the 18th century, was celebrated for its charming portrayal of childhood innocence and the potential for greatness within the young. In recreating this scene, Hilton not only pays tribute to Reynolds but also perpetuates the conversation about the role of art in society and the importance of fostering creativity from a young age.

Hilton's "Infant Academy" serves as a historical document of the artistic values and educational philosophies of its time. It is a work that encapsulates the reverence held for Reynolds and his contributions to British art, as well as the ongoing commitment to the academic tradition and the transmission of its principles to future generations of artists.
