A look at the life and work of eighteenth century painter George Romney.
Romney quickly rose to prominence in the 18th century, capturing the likenesses of British high society with remarkable skill. His portraits are celebrated for their graceful composition, delicate colouring, and the subtle yet expressive portrayal of his subjects' personalities. Despite his success, he led a somewhat tumultuous personal life. Romney's contributions to portraiture have left an enduring legacy in the history of British art.
