Sinopsis
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.

Excerpt from James Ward, R. A
A hundred other instances might be mentioned, but as lack of space forbids, I will content myself with giving, as a sample of Mrs. Frankau's methods, a single quotation from her book. It is taken from page 57, and forms part of a long tirade against James Ward for his treatment of his children, more especially of his son George. George was persuaded, urged, forced eventually, to abandon art, to give up everything that had filled his life, and provided him with the means of subsistence, and take to the manufacture of blacking! The only date Mrs. Frankau mentions in connection with this event is 1857. To the reader who has had his emotions excited by Visions of a youthful stripling bullied into obedience by a stalwart middle aged father, it may come as a relief to know that in 1857, James Ward was a decrepit and tottering veteran of 88, while George, who had reached the mature age of 58, might be reasonably supposed to have outgrown parental control. It is improbable that at thattime he could have been forced into the blacking factory, as it had ceased to exist for nearly twenty years. As a matter of fact George was never connected with it. It was an enterprise in which his brother Claude James persuaded their father to risk his savings and where he lost them for him.

Paperback. Condición: 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. The author delves into Ward's early life, marked by poverty and struggle, and traces his artistic journey from his apprenticeship as an engraver to his eventual recognition as a respected painter. The book examines Ward's unique style, which combined realism with a deep emotional connection to his subjects, and discusses the influence of his religious beliefs on his artistic vision. Through a detailed analysis of Ward's works, the author sheds light on the artist's multifaceted personality, his technical virtuosity, and his significant contribution to the development of animal painting in England.
