Horace Pitt Kennedy Skipton epub John Hoppner (Classic Reprint)

John Hoppner, the great artist whose name and work were so strangely forgotten when his memory should have been most green, so suddenly to be rediscovered and restored to his rightful place during the last few years. Much remains to be done ere the circumstances of Hoppner scareer can be known with any completeness, and nobody is better aware than the writer that this little book is only a first step on the road. But for the kindness of many owners of Hoppner sworks, who have permitted him to inspect their pictures and have answered at length and in detail requests for information, it would have been impossible to accomplish even so much, and the writer is sensible of his debts. His thanks are especially due to those whose pictures appear in this volume. The writer has also to acknowledge kindly assistance and advice from Mr. Lionel Cust, M.V.O., F.S.A.; to Miss Ida Taaf Fehe is under deep obligations for much miscellaneous help, especially in the way of taking photographs, and also to Miss Constance Moore and Mr. Henry Jenner, F.S.A.
