Only twenty-five at the time of his death in 1828, young Richard
Parkes Bonington nevertheless was a seminal figure in the
development of modernism in nineteenth-century French painting.
This catalogue raisonne of his oil and watercolor paintings
represents the first attempt to establish and present the artist's
complete known oeuvre. Drawing on 25 years of research, Patrick
Noon catalogues, analyzes, and reproduces 400 artworks now
indisputably attributed to Bonington. Many of these paintings have
never before been published. The book sets Bonington's achievement
in the context of the intellectual, social, and artistic ferment of
high romanticism in Paris and London, and it shows the profound
effect of his style on his friend and contemporary, Eugene
Delacroix, and many others. Noon's detailed and accurate study will
inform all future discourse on Bonington and his remarkable legacy.
