See also:HOPPNER, See also:JOHN (1758—1810) , See also:English portrait-painter, was,. See also:born, it is said, on the 4th of See also:April 1758 at Whitechapel. His See also:father was of See also:German extraction, and his See also:mother was one of the German attendants at the royal See also:palace. Hoppner was consequently brought See also:early under the See also:notice and received the patronage of See also:George III., whose regard for him gave rise to unfounded See also:scandal. As a boy he was a chorister at the royal See also:chapel, but showing strong inclination for See also:art, he in 1775 entered as a student at the Royal See also:Academy. In 1778 he took a See also:silver See also:medal for See also:drawing from the See also:life, and in 1782 the Academy's highest See also:award, the See also:gold medal for See also:historical See also:painting, his subject

King See also:Lear. He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1780. His earliest love was for landscape, but See also:necessity obliged him to turn to the more lucrative business of portrait-painting. At once successful, he had, throughout life, the most fashionable and wealthy sitters, and was the greatest See also:rival of the growing attraction of See also:- LAWRENCE

Ideal subjects were very rarely at tempted by Hoppner, though a "Sleeping See also:Venus," " B elisarius," " See also:Jupiter and Io," a '` Bacchante " and " See also:Cupid and See also:Psyche " are mentioned among his See also:works.

Among his other sitters were See also:Sir See also:Walter See also:Scott, See also:Wellington, Frerc and Sir George See also:Beaumont. Competent See also:judges have. deemed his most successful works to be his portraits of womn and See also:children. A See also:Series of Portraits of Ladies was published by him in 1803, and a See also:volume of See also:translations of Eastern tales into English See also:verse in 18o5. The verse is of but mediocre quality. In his later years Hoppner suffered from a chronic disease of the See also:liver; he died on the 23rd of See also:January 181o. He was confessedly an imitator of See also:Reynolds. When first painted, his works were much admired for the brilliancy and See also:harmony of their colouring, but the injury due to destructive mediums and See also:lapse of See also:- TIME (0. Eng.

time which many of them suffered caused a See also:great depreciation in his reputation. The See also:appearance, however, of some of his pictures in See also:good See also:condition has shown that his fame as a brilliant colourist was well founded. His drawing is faulty, but his See also:touch has qualities of breadth and freedom that give to his paintings a faint reflection of the See also:charm of Reynolds. Hoppner was a See also:man of great social See also:power, and had the knowledge and accomplishments of a man of the See also:world.
