This beautifully designed and illustrated publication is the first
comprehensive biography of the portrait painter Johan Zoffany
(1733–1810), one of the leading figures of eighteenth-century
British art. The German-born artist shot to fame with his charming
conversation pieces and portraits of London celebrities, including
actor David Garrick. He soon became the painter of choice of King
George III, depicting the royal family with rare informality, and
subsequently a founder-member of the Royal Academy of Arts. His
pictures have earned him the right to stand alongside Hogarth,
Gainsborough and Reynolds as one of the most important founding
artists of the British School.
