Painters of England and Britain from the eighteenth century through the Victorian age, including the leading portraitists of the Georgian court, the painters of the Enlightenment and the Victorian painters of fairy, historical and rural subjects, who together made up the British school. Their pictures include grand manner portraits, candle lit scientific scenes, fairy paintings made in an asylum, and landscapes and figure subjects of Wales, as the British school developed after the founding of the Royal Academy.
