John Singleton Copley was an Anglo-American painter, active in both colonial America and England. He was probably born in Boston, Massachusetts, to Richard and Mary Singleton Copley, both Anglo-Irish. After becoming well-established as a portrait painter of the wealthy in colonial New England, he moved to London in 1774, never returning to America. In London, he met considerable success as a portraitist for the next two decades, and also painted a number of large history paintings, which were innovative in their readiness to depict modern subjects and modern dress. His later years were less successful, and he died heavily in debt.
Domenico Zampieri, known as Domenichino, was an Italian Baroque painter who worked in Rome. He was a pupil of the Accademia Carracci in Bologna and was subsequently influenced by the works of Annibale Carracci and Caravaggio.
Domenichino was known for his use of vivid colours, dramatic lighting and his ability to convey emotion in his paintings. He was particularly adept at painting religious subjects and his works often depicted scenes from the life of Christ, the Virgin Mary and saints. He also participated in the fresco decoration of churches and several papal residences, and worked on the decoration of the Palazzo Barberini in Rome.
John French Sloan was an American impressionist painter, considered one of the founders of the Ashcan school of American art. He is best known for his urban, everyday genre scenes and his ability to capture the essence of New York City neighborhood life, which he observed from his studio window in Chelsea.
John Frederick Herring the Elder was a British painter of Victorian England.
John had a passion for horses and painting from a young age. In his spare time from his day job as a sign painter and coachman, Herring painted horses for innkeepers and customers. Developing his talent, John specialized in drawing animals and loved to depict sporting events with horses. His impressive and vivid depictions of racehorses, cows and ducks as well as picturesque hunting scenes caught the eye of Queen Victoria. In 1845 Herring was appointed animal painter to Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, followed by a commission from the reigning Queen Victoria, who remained a patron for the rest of his life.
A highly successful and prolific artist, Herring is considered one of the most important animal painters of mid-19th century Europe. He exhibited at the Royal Academy, the British Institution, and the Society of British Artists, where Herring became vice-president in 1842. Three of his sons also became artists.
John Monks is an English expressionist painter who lives and works in London and France. Monks is a master of light and shadow. His paintings are often portraits of mysterious abandoned rooms and monumental interiors. Another theme of the artist's work is landscapes.
John Marin was an American artist, a prominent member of the first generation of American modernists. He is known for his abstract landscapes and watercolors.
Henry John Stock was a British Pre-Raphaelite painter and representative of the English Romantic tradition.
Henry was nearly blind as a child, but gained his sight when he went to live at Beaulieu in the New Forest. Fully recovered, he attended St. Martin's School of Art and the Royal Academy schools. And apparently the trials of his childhood played a role in the artist's outlook. Stock enjoyed success as a secular portraitist, but his main area of interest has always been fantasy, religious and mythological subjects.
John E. Ferneley was an English artist who specialised in depicting sport horses and hunting scenes. Although his rendition of horses was stylised, he is regarded as one of the great British equine artists, second perhaps only to George Stubbs.
