Description

George Romney's portraits of 18th century gentry and their children are among the most widely recognized creations of his age. This book is the first biography of Romney to explore the full diversity of his oeuvre and portrays a complex personality, prone to melancholy, who held himself aloof from London's Establishment and from the Royal Academy, and chose instead to find his friends among that city's radical intelligentsia. xiv, 258 p., [16] p. of plates, ill. (some col.), 24 cm.
