Description: | Lawrence lived from 1789 to 1830. In 1794 he was a Royal Academician, and he became the fashionable portrait painter of the age, having as his sitters all the rank, fashion and talent of England, and ultimately most of the crowned heads of Europe. In 1815 he was knighted. In 1818 he travelled to the continent to paint princes and kings. After eighteen months he returned to England, and on the very day of his arrival was chosen president of the Royal Academy. This painting is typical of his paintings of the English aristocracy and their families. He also painted John George Lambton, first Earl of Durham, in 1820, who was the father of Charles William Lambton, the subject of this portrait. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Publisher: | Huntley & Palmers | Rights holder: | Reading Borough Council (Reading Museum Service) | Subjects: | frame fine art costume childhood painting portrait Master Lampton | Temporal: | start=1900-01-01; end=1902-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Not known | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
