Synopsis
Excerpt from James Ward, R. A
He was born in 1769, the year of the foundation of the Royal Academy, just at the time that English art was casting off leading strings, and establishing itself on a firm footing. Hogarth was but five years dead. Hudson and Ramsey were still fashionable portrait painters, Reynolds and Gainsborough had barely reached their prime, Romney was courting fame as an historical painter preparatory to his journey to Italy, and Stubbs was gaining larger sums by his canvasses and enamels of horses, than most of his brother artists could earn by painting portraits of men and women.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the life and career of James Ward, an English painter, engraver, and animal portraitist. Born in 1769, Ward was a leading figure in the art world during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, renowned for his technical mastery in capturing the essence of animals and landscapes.
