Book Synopsis A Century of British Painters by : Richard Redgrave
Book excerpt: In the 1860s, the brothers Richard and Samuel Redgrave sat down to write the book that was, in effect, the first popular account of British painting. With remarkable industry, they examined and sifted through the earlier studies and documentary sources while also contributing a great deal of firsthand knowledge. Many of the artists of the time were personal friends or acquaintances, and Richard Redgrave was a member of the Royal Academy.
