Richard Cosway's delicate style and flattering portrayals have come to epitomise Regency society.
Cosway's flamboyant personality, eccentric mysticism, and brilliant marriage to Maria Hadfield during the 1780s brought him celebrity and notoriety. He was the principal recorder of the Prince of Wales''s image from 1780 to 1808, as well as having exerted a great influence on his patron's artistic taste and collecting during that period. Perhaps Cosway's greatest achievement, however, was as a connoisseur, virtuoso, and collector particularly of Old Master painting.
Author: Dr Stephen Lloyd is Senior Curator at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. Based on new research, this book is illustrated with 30 colour plates and with notes and up-to-date bibliography.
