Sir Joshua Reynolds, ?Portrait of Mrs Richard Hoare? print
Sir Joshua Reynolds was born at Plympton Earl in Devonshire, England in 1723. In 1740, after acknowledging the precocity of his talent, he was sent by his father to London. His lifelong admiration for Michelangelo, Raphael, Guido Reni, Corregio, and Titian would later influence his poses, coloring and technical innovations.
From the moment Reynolds set up business in London in 1753, until his left eye went blind in 1789, he enjoyed immense success, so much that he had to keep raising his prices to stem the tide of sitters. Gainsborough and Reynolds were rivals in their own time and have been rivals in public estimation ever since. In 1768 Reynolds became the first President of the Royal Academy; he was also elected mayor of his native Plympton. He resigned as President of the Academy in 1790 after a quarrel with the Council. He died in 1792.
This well framed, well preserved print displays the skill and mastery of technique of the original?s artist. The influence of the old masters is plainly seen in the pose and expressions of the subjects. This beautiful print is uniquely framed in a white ornate frame and excellently matted in a forest green mat that brings out the many green tones in the picture. The entire piece measures 17? x 14?.
