Romney was the main rival of Sir Joshua Reynolds and Thomas Gainsborough--and for much of his career more fashionable than either. A century ago, collectors fought to buy the portraits he created with a distinctive mix of elegance, mannerism, and informality; especially popular were those of Emma Hart (later the notorious Lady Hamilton), who became his favorite model and muse. Romney's chief ambition, however, was to succeed as a history painter, and he made countless drawings for literary and mythological pictures that he never had time to paint. These drawings, executed with a spontaneity and dramatic expressiveness that have appealed to many modern artists, mark Romney as one of the first Romantics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"George Romney, 1734-1802 | Alex Kidson | Hardcover | 9780691095592 | Used: Very Good | Art 1783504 (temp: 22)","offer_id":50908078211330,"sku":"1783504","price":55.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/614kAQIfwNL.jpg?v=1793286835","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/george-romney-1734-1802","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
