Ambrosini Jérôme (1810 - 1883) — Auction price
Ambrosini Jérôme, originally born James Parker Ambrosini Jerome, is a testament to the rich heritage of artistic talent within our family lineage. Born on August 8, 1810, in Portsea, Jérôme was a visionary artist whose Italianate pseudonym echoed the romanticism of his era.
Appointed Royal Painter to the Duchess of Kent and young Princess Victoria, Ambrosini's artistry gained royal acknowledgment as early as 1833. Despite the restrictive English art scene of his time, he aligned with the Pre-Raphaelites, rebelling against conventional standards to exhibit in Liverpool, where their art flourished outside London's stringent circles.
Ambrosini's legacy, though not steeped in fame, lives on through his paintings, cherished in private collections worldwide and honored in the Portsmouth Museum. His life, bound intimately to his craft, ended on April 7, 1883, leaving behind a narrative woven into the very fabric of our family's history.
