Reynolds, Sir Joshua. 



Born in Plympton Earl, Devonshire, England, 1723; died in London, 

 1792. Displayed much talent for drawing when quite young. Was sent 

 to London in 1740, to study under Hudson, with whom he remained three 

 years, making exceptional progress. After two years at Plymouth he re- 

 turned to London, but in 1749 he proceeded to Italy where he remained 

 three years, studying and painting in Rome, Parma, Florence, and Venice. 

 From 1752 until his death he was settled in London, and during this period, 

 or until 1789, when defective eyesight caused him to relinquish the use of 

 his brush, his life was one unbroken success. He excelled as a portrait 

 painter and especially as a painter of children. When the Royal Academy 

 was founded in 1768, he was elected its President by acclamation, and 

 received the honor of knighthood from the king.
