STANNARD, See also:JOSEPH (1796-1830) , See also:British painter, was See also:born in See also:Norwich. He there received some training in See also:art from See also:Robert Ladbrooke, the See also:brother-in-See also:law of See also:Crome, and he also visited See also:Holland and studied the pictures of the Dutch masters. His See also:short See also:life—he died when he was See also:thirty-four—was spent in his native See also:town, and he contributed to the exhibitions of the Norwich Society, of which he was a member, and also occasionally showed his See also:work in See also:London. Most of his pictures represent See also:coast subjects or See also:river scenes, but he had some reputation as a portrait-painter also, and in this See also:branch of practice he achieved locally a See also:fair measure of success. In his large picture, " The See also:Annual See also:Water Frolic at See also:Thorpe," he combined landscape with See also:portraiture. He attained no little skill as an etcher and published several plates which have a considerable degree of merit.
