Kunstenaar Richard Bonington

"The British landscape artist Richard Parkes Bonington was particularly highly regarded by his contemporaries, and showed much skill before his life tragically ended in his mid-twenties.Bonington was a native of Nottingham, where he was born around 1802, but he received much of his training in France where he lived as a boy. He was a pupil of Gros, and a friend of the great romantic painter, Delacroix.Bonington travelled to Italy in 1826, and produced several historical paintings influenced by the Venetian style. He returned to England in 1827 and his career, which had seemed poised on the brink of greatness, was tragically cut short with his untimely death in 1828."
