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-

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

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