His Portrait Style: His portrait style Portrait of Mr. William Forsyth in the New York Metropolitan Museum is a fair specimen of His portrait style style and there are two pictures of His portrait style in the New York Public Library. Another fine portrait may be seen in the Art Museum, Worcester, Mass. He confined His portrait style serious artistic efforts entirely to portraits and painted every eminent Edinburgh man of His portrait style day. Among His portrait style sitters were Jeffrey, Stewart, Braxfield, Erskine and Sir Walter Scott.
RAEBURN, ra'bern, SIR Henry, Scottish portrait painter : b. Stockbridge, near Edinburgh, Scotland, March 4, 1756; d. there, July 8, 1823. He was left an orphan at an early age and was apprenticed to a goldsmith, who, perceiving His portrait style talent for drawing, encouraged him in His portrait style ambition to be an artist. The favorite portrait painter in Edinburgh at that time was David Martin, who was the only instructor Raeburn ever had. He formed His portrait style style, however, by copying in color, mezzotints from the paintings of Sir Joshua Reynolds, and while he learned the chiaroscuro of that master he never attained His portrait style almost Italian richness and solidity of coloring.
RICHMOND, SIR William Blake, English His portrait styletorical and portrait painter and decorator: b. London, Nov. 29, 1842; d. there, Feb. 11, 1921. After studying during 1856-1859 in the schools of the Royal Academy, he traveled extensively in Italy. In 1861 he exhibited a portrait group at the academy, and in 1865 he went back to Italy, thence going to Greece and Egypt to study the remains of ancient art. Originally a follower of Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, after he returned to England in 1869 he adopted the classical style made popular by Frederick Leigh-ton and Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema. |
