James Gillray
English Illustrator, 1757-1815
English caricaturist and illustrator. He was essentially self-trained although he studied at the Royal Academy and on the Continent. His caricatures of the court of George III made him immensely popular. His masterly delineations, vigorous, clever, often subtle, sometimes vulgar and grotesque, numbered more than 12,000. Among his best-known cartoons are A New Way to Pay the National Debt (1796), Social Elements in Skating (1805), Related Paintings of James Gillray :. | Otto Brahm in its box of the German of theater | Nuneham | portrait of alady | Kissing the Moon (mk44) | Loth and his Daughters jj | Related Artists: Maggiotto, DomenicoItalian Painter, 1713-1794 Jerome-Martin LangloisFrench Academic Painter,
1779-1838 Charles DauphinCharles Claude Dauphin or Dofin, called in Italian Delfino, a French painter of historical subjects and portraits, was the son of Olivier Dauphin. He went to Turin about the year 1664, and worked there for the Prince of Carignano. He was also employed for the churches, but his works are in no great estimation, abounding as they do with the most ridiculous absurdities. In the church of San Carlo is an altar-piece by him, described by Lanzi as a most ludicrous composition. He died in 1677.
