JAMES (1746-1831) , See also:English painter, was See also:born at See also:Plymouth on the 22nd of See also:October 1746. He was apprenticed to his See also:father, a poor watchmaker of the See also:town, and during his spare See also:hours was diligent with See also:brush and See also:pencil. In 1769 he See also:left his father and started as a portrait-painter. Four years later he went to See also:London and was admitted as a See also:- PUPIL (Lat. pupillus, orphan, minor, dim. of pupus, boy, allied to puer, from root pm- or peu-, to beget, cf.

time he attended the See also:Academy See also:schools. In 1775 he left Reynolds, and about two years later, having acquired the requisite funds by portrait-See also:painting in See also:Devonshire, he went to study in See also:Italy. On his return to See also:England, three years later, he revisited his native See also:county, and then settled in London, where See also:Opie and See also:Fuseli were his rivals. He was elected See also:associate of the Academy in 1786, and full academician in the following See also:spring. The " See also:Young Princes murdered in the See also:Tower," his first important See also:historical See also:work, See also:dates from 1786, and it was followed by the " See also:Burial of the Princes in the Tower," both paintings, along with seven others, being executed for See also:Boydell's See also:Shakespeare See also:gallery, The " See also:Death of Wat See also:Tyler," now in the See also:Guildhall, was exhibited in 1787; and shortly afterwards Northcote began a set of ten subjects, entitled " The Modest Girl and the Wanton," which were completed and engraved in 1796. Among the productions of Northcote's later years are the "; Entombment " and the " Agony in the See also:Garden," besides many portraits, and several See also:animal subjects, like the " Leopards," the " See also:Dog and See also:Heron," and the " See also:Lion "; these latter were more successful than the artist's efforts in the higher departments of See also:art, as was indicated by Fuseli's See also:caustic remark on examining the " See also:Angel opposing See also:Balaam "—" Northcote, you are an angel at an See also:ass, but an ass at an angel." The See also:works of the artist number about two thousand, and he made a See also:fortune of £40,000. He died on the 13th of See also:July 1831.
Northcote was emulous of fame as an author, and his first essays in literature were contributions to the Artist, edited by See also:Prince See also:Hoare. In 1813 he embodied his recollections of his old See also:master in a See also:Life of Reynolds. His Fables—the first See also:series published in 1828, the second posthumously in 1833—were illustrated with woodcuts by See also:Harvey from Northcote's own designs. In the See also:production of his Life of See also:Titian, his last work, which appeared in 183o, he was assisted by See also:- WILLIAM
