WILLIAM (1786–1863) , See also:English subject painter, was See also:born at See also:Ennis, Co. See also:Clare, on the 3oth of See also:April 1786. When he was about five years old his See also:father, a See also:leather-breeches maker by See also:trade, removed to See also:London, where the son received a tolerable See also:education, chiefly under See also:Catholic priests. He was fond of See also:reading, and fonder still of See also:drawing.' When eleven years old Mulready was employed by an artist named See also:Graham as the See also:model for a figure in his picture of " See also:Solomon Blessed by his Father See also:David." The painter's See also:interest in the lad did much to confirm his See also:artistic proclivities; and, having studied at See also:home for two years, Mulready applied for See also:advice to See also:Banks the sculptor, who sent him to a drawing school and permitted him to See also:work in his own studio. In 1800 he was admitted a student of the See also:Academy, and two years later he gained the See also:silver See also:palette of the Society of Arts. About this See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time he was associated with See also:John See also:Varley, the See also:eccentric See also:water-See also:colour painter and drawing-See also:master, whom he assisted in the tuition of his pupils, who included See also:Cox, See also:Fielding, See also:Linnell, William See also:Hunt, and
'Some reproductions of his See also:early attempts in this direction are given, along with details of his See also:life, in a scarce See also:volume for the See also:young, entitled The Looking-See also:Glass, written by William See also:Godwin under the nom de plume of See also:Theophilus Marcliffe, and published in 1805.

Oxford. At eighteen he married a See also:sister of Varley's, and at twenty-four he was the father of four sons. The See also:marriage was unhappy, and the pair separated before many years. He " tried his See also:hand at everything," as he said, " from a See also:miniature to a See also:panorama." He painted portraits, taught drawing, and up till 1809 designed illustrations to a See also:series of See also:children's See also:penny books. His first pictures were classical and religious subjects of no See also:great merit, and the early See also:works which he sent to the Academy were mainly landscapes; but he soon discovered his See also:special aptitude for genre-See also:painting, and in 1809 produced the "See also:Carpenter's See also:Shop," and in 18rr the "See also:Barber's Shop," pictures influenced by the example of See also:Wilkie and the Dutch painters. In 1813 he exhibited his " See also:Punch," a more See also:original and spontaneous work, which brought the artist into See also:notice, and two years later his " Idle Boys " procured his See also:election as See also:associate. Next See also:year he received full See also:academic honours, and the election was justified by the " Fight Interrupted " which he then exhibited. It was followed by the " See also:Wolf and the See also:Lamb " (1820), the " Convalescent " (1822), "Interior of an English Cottage" (1828), " See also:Dogs of Two Minds " (183o), the " Seven Ages " (1838), and in 1839 and 1840 by the " See also:Sonnet and First Love," two of the most perfect and poetical of the artist's works.

His later works, like the " Bathers " (1849), " See also:Mother teaching her Children " (1859), and the " See also:Toy Seller " (1862), show declining See also:powers, mainly attributable to failing See also:health. The last evening of his life was spent at a See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf.

meeting of the Academy, of which, for nearly fifty years, he had been a most active and efficient member. He died of See also:heart disease on the 7th of See also:July 1863.
