Biography:
George Richmond hailed from a family of painters, initially studying under his father Thomas. He then attended the Royal Academy where he made the acquaintance of Samuel Palmer. Together, they formed a group called the Ancients, who were avid followers of William Blake. Around 1830, Richmond abandoned the poetic style of painting that Blake was known for and turned to portraiture. He was very successful in this genre, creating approximately 2,500 portraits.
