Excerpt from George Romney
Helped him in the compilation of his book more particularly to Mr. Lawrence Romney, the painter's great-grandson, who has given him more valuable information and assistance than he can acknowledge at all adequately. He has also to thank Mr. Ernest H. Hare, who kindly undertook to draw up the List of Modern Engravings after Romney; Mr. J. Graham Keniou, the honorary secretary of the Liverpool Royal Institution, who has given every facility for the study and photographing of the cartoons in his charge; Lord Ronald Sutherland Gower, Mr. W. Roberts, Mr. W. Sichel, and others, who, from time to time, have corresponded with the writer on details in connection with Romney's life or paintings; and, lastly, to the editor of the series in which this book is published, Dr. James H.

Romney, and the writer has attempted to make it as complete and accurate as possible. Frequent use has been made of the earlier biographies by his son, the Rev. John Romney, and his bosom friend, William Hayley, as these, in spite of their prolixity, contain by far the fullest details of Romney spersonal history. The life of a painter who is completely wrapped up in his art, as Romney was, is usually an uneventful one; but it is, nevertheless, when the painter in question is a man of genius, of very real interest to those who have come under his spell. By many Romney is still regarded merely as the man who painted and loved Lady Hamilton and deserted his own wife for more than thirty years an inaccurate and exaggerated summary of his life, based upon insufficient knowledge. This point of view the writer has attempted to dispel by placing in their true perspective the many good qualities of his character, qualities which more than counterbalanced his less worthy ones. The second part deals with Romney shabits and methods of work, while the third is concerned with him as an artist, and with the position he holds in the Knglish school of painting A number of the portraits and pictures chosen to illustrate Romney sart are here reproduced for the first time from photographs of the original paintings, thanks to the kindness of the owners.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the life and art of George Romney, a prominent English portrait painter of the 18th century. The author examines Romney's rise from humble beginnings to a position of high renown, rivaling the likes of Reynolds and Gainsborough, and traces the ups and downs of his reputation through the years. The book delves into Romney's personality, his artistic techniques, and his place within the English school of painting. While acknowledging the painter's successes and popularity during his lifetime, the author challenges the conventional view of Romney as a mere painter of pretty faces, arguing that his work possesses far greater depth and merit than is often recognized. The book reveals the complex character of Romney, who defied categorization and left a lasting legacy through his compelling portraits of the British aristocracy and his intricate explorations of human emotion and beauty.
