Profusely illustrated. *** "John Singleton Copley is well known in America as the creator of the finest portraits of the Colonial era. Less well known is the fact that he left America in 1774, when the impending armed struggle between the Colonies and England threatened to destroy his livelihood, and settled in London to pit himself ambitiously against the Old Masters and the English giants of the day. Copley's English career was long and brilliant - and represents the most important period of his working life. During the forty-one years he spent in England, Copley created his great masterpieces of history painting and portraiture that stand as key monuments of British painting. From the earliest days of his career in London Copley realized that he would have to do everything possible to stand out in a crowded field of painters and create works that would bring him instant notice. This he did with his first great English picture, The Copley Family (1776-77) and, even more dramatically, with the landmark Watson and the Shark (1778). He quickly mastered the elements of the fashionable English style of painting, exchanging the tight and linear handling of the Colonial period for one more fluid and expressive. By the 1780s Copley was reckoned one of the most important painters working in England, a clear rival to his compatriot Benjamin West. With his masterpiece, The Death of Major Pierson (1784), Copley assumed a place of primacy in the field of history painting. While William L. Pressly gives a balanced, up-to-date exposition of Copley's English career, Emily Ballew Neff examines his masterpiece, The Death of Major Pierson, in particular detail, and is the author of the catalogue of his major English works. This is a long overdue study of this important painter." - Publisher. Size: 4to.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. Hardcover, quarto bound in black cloth and lettered on in gold on spine, in publisher's dust-jacket. 212 pages. Selected Bibliography, Index. Illustrated with two full page color plates and black and white reproductions throughout. First edition, first printing with full number line. An art history of the French Revolution illumed in oil, as seen by a German born artist living in England. Mirroring Burke's horror at the events in France, Zoffany's vision was an outlier in the British School of the period, albeit conformed to the revulsion expressed by the general public. Pressly shows how the artist employed hyperbolic images of violence, Christian symbolism and a medieval conception of "rightful" hierarchies to convey a conservative reactionary graphic image of the Revolution. No previous ownership marks. A clean, square, fresh and unmarked copy. Fine in a fine dust-jacket.…
