Synopsis

George Morland and his world: a clear portrait of a gifted, troubled English painter.

This concise study follows Morland’s life from early talent to a lasting, sometimes controversial, artistic legacy. It discusses his place in English art, his working methods, and the ways his pictures captured everyday life with direct, unvarnished realism. The volume also explores his circle, including his pupils and the people who shaped his career, as well as the pressures that affected him and his art.

• How Morland’s pictures tell stories of rustic life with straightforward, honest detail


• Details about his pupils and how they helped expand his workshop


• Insights into the art market, signatures, and the forger challenge


• Context for Morland’s reputation and influence within the era’s artists

Ideal for readers of art biographies and fans of English genre painting.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Dawe himself, it must always be regarded as quite an extraordinary performance for a young man of twenty-six. One other notice of Morland belongs to the same year that contained in the fourth volume of The Eccentric Mirror, by C. H. Wilson, London, 1807. It is hardly possible in any library, save a public one, to consult all five memoirs, and, that being the case, Mr. Ralph Richardson issued, in 1895, a small volume compiled from these four rare books. That work is now out of print. In 1898 the late Mr. J. T. Nettleship, the well-known animal painter, issued in the Portfolio Series a slight essay on Morland, being to a great extent a study of his works from the artists point of view, specially in order to develop Mr. Nettleship stheory respecting the evolution of some later painters from Morland. This work is practically the only one now available on Morland, and it does not profess to be a memoir, and ignores a great deal of the interesting social information which the artists contemporaries gave in the five biographies to which allusion has been made. In these circumstances it seemed reasonable that another book should be issued on this ever popular painter, to gather up the information contained in the previously issued volumes, and to illustrate his pictures to a fuller extent than has before been possible Fortunately, a few contemporary letters in which there were references to Morland came into the authors possession, and enabled him to add a little new information and to correct some errors previously made.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
