Synopsis
Excerpt from John Opie and His Circle
It would be impossible here to thank all my correspondents individually: each letter was replied to at the time, and I now repeat (both in my own name and on the part of my readers) my grateful acknowledgment of the valuable help thus given me in compiling the list of Opie's works. Seldom, I am sure, has a literary worker had such an abundance of good wishes for success from total strangers to these Mr. R. Hall Mccormick added a more tangible expression of goodwill in the gift of a copy of the handsomely illustrated catalogue of his private picture gallery.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the captivating story of John Opie, a self-taught genius who rose from humble beginnings as a Cornish sawyer's apprentice to become a celebrated portrait painter and a rival to the great Sir Joshua Reynolds. Opie's remarkable rise to fame is interwoven with the larger story of English art in the 18th century, a period of great change and experimentation. The author vividly portrays Opie's struggles, triumphs, and ultimately, his place in the artistic landscape of a time when artists were often forced to navigate the fickle tides of fashion and patronage. The book delves into Opie's artistic philosophy, his relationship with his mentor Dr. Wolcot, and the social context that shaped his life and work. Through insightful analysis, the author sheds light on Opie's unique perspective on portraiture, his dedication to capturing the true essence of his sitters, and his resistance to the prevailing trend of idealized beauty. The book's exploration of Opie's life offers a unique lens through which to understand the artistic and social upheavals of the late 18th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331825265_0
