Présentation de l'éditeur
Oft seeing the old painters art, We find the tear unbidden start, And feel our full hearts closer grow To the far days of long ago. Lewis Morris. So little is known by the community at large of the record of the life of the great artist George Romney, that the general amount of information relative to his career could for the most part be condensed into one paragraph chiefly composed of a slander. Directly after his death in 1802, two of his friends wrote brief and regretful memoirs of him; while a third evaporated a biography on a larger scale, in style so rigmarole as to prove wearisome reading; but as it contained a reflection on the dead artists domestic relations, his son a few years later defended his father by writing his life himself.
