Richard Brompton

Richard Brompton was an esteemed English portrait painter, active during the mid to late 18th century. Born around 1734, Brompton honed his artistic skills under the mentorship of Benjamin Wilson and later, in Italy, with Raphael Mengs. His Italian sojourn also brought him under the patronage of the Earl of Northampton, leading to significant exposure and subsequent recognition back in England​.

Brompton's mastery in portraiture gained him high-profile commissions and admittance to elite art circles, including the Presidency of the Society of Artists from 1779 to 1780. Some of his notable works include portraits of influential figures such as William Pitt, the 1st Earl of Chatham, and Admiral Sir Charles Saunders, which are preserved in prestigious locations like the National Maritime Museum and the National Portrait Gallery​​.

Later in his career, financial difficulties led him to St. Petersburg, Russia, where he served as the court painter to the Empress of Russia, enjoying considerable success before his death in 1783​.
