PREFACE. 
 
 The nature of the MSS. acquired at Miss Romney's Sale in 
 1894, which form the chief new sources of this book, is briefly 
 described in the early pages of the Biographical Essay, and in 
 the Prefatory Note to the Transcript of the Diaries. It is here 
 only necessary to add that the information furnished by those 
 Diaries and other note-books is at best but fragmentary, and 
 that in too many cases all our efibrts have failed to make it 
 scientifically complete. A large proportion of the pictures 
 entered in Romney's Diaries were never finished, or were 
 destroyed, stolen, or lost in his lifetime, or after his death. Others 
 have wandered about from owner to owner, till it has been 
 found impossible to trace them. Hence the large number of 
 entries in regard to which, though we have Romney's record of 
 the picture, we have been unable to give the owner's name. 
 
 Conversely, in certain cases — we hope, not many — pictures 
 
Preface. 
 
 may have been entered as by Romney which are really not by 
 him. In this difficult matter we have done our best, following 
 good family traditions or the catalogues of good sales ; but 
 nothing short of a personal inspection of all the pictures — an 
 evident impossibility — would have provided an absolute safeguard. 
 
 The Frontispiece to Vol. I. is printed from the original 
 copperplate engraved for the Memoirs by Thomas Wright, from 
 the unfinished portrait of Romney, now in the National Portrait 
 Gallery. This plate was acquired at Miss Romney's sale, and 
 fortunately proved to be in excellent condition. 
 
 The Photogravures are the work of the Swan Electric 
 Engraving Company and the Art Photogravure Company, and 
 are made from negatives taken from the original pictures, many 
 of which are here reproduced for the first time. To the owners, 
 one and all, we offer our grateful acknowledgments. 
 
 We have also to thank a number of friends for kindly com- 
 municating facts and documents about Romney, or about individual 
 pictures. Especially must we mention Lady Russell, of Swallowfield, 
 whose late husband's grandfather was one of Romney's intimate 
 friends ; Mr. Lawrence Romney, the painter's great-grandson ; and 
 Mr. C. Fairfax Murray. 
 
 To these acknowledgments the senior of the two colla- 
 borators feels bound to add his thanks to his colleague for the 
 extraordinary care and patience with which, during several years, 
 he has worked at the Catalogue Raisonne, deciphering and 
 transcribing the note-books — often almost illegible — hunting 
 up references in hundreds of old books and newspapers, and 
 carrying on a vast correspondence with the families of Romney's 
 sitters and the owners of his works.

GEORGE ROMNEY. 
 
 THE sources of our knowledge of George 
 Romney's life and character, and of the 
 history of his art, may be grouped under 
 three heads : his manuscript diaries and other 
 professional or private papers, which have 
 never till now been published ; a number, 
 all too scanty, of contemporary references; 
 and three memoirs, two of them published 
 shortly after his death in 1802, and the 
 third, which is by far the most authorita- 
 tive, not till the year 1830. 
 
 The diaries, extending from 1776 to 1795, contain nothing 
 but the brief records of sittings and other appointments, while

 with them we have to group a number of other memorandum- 
 books, in which the painter himself, or his son, his servant, or 
 his frame-maker, recorded the date of delivery, the prices, and 
 often the destination of the pictures. Of these documents it is 
 unnecessary to say more at present than that they are the basis 
 of the elaborate Catalogue Raisonne which forms the principal 
 part of this book. As to the letters and other documents 
 which were acquired at the same time as the diaries from Miss 
 Romney's collection, many of them have been used, and some 
 of them have been printed, by the Rev. John Romney, in 
 preparing the Life of his father ; and the remainder, with 
 certain noteworthy exceptions which will be mentioned in due 
 course, are not of much value to the biographer. Like most 
 painters, Romney was not a literary man, and, moreover, he 
 was not a sociable man. He had few friends and fewer corre- 
 spondents. Although his son was angrily anxious to prove that 
 he was not illiterate, the mere sight of his handwriting is 
 enough to show that to write a letter was more difficult to 
 him than to paint a picture ; and, though there is plenty of 
 evidence that his conversation, when he had once shaken ofF 
 his shyness, was interesting and even brilliant, it is also clear 
 that the pen was not his instrument, and that he had little 
 of that literary gift which, in happier circumstances, might have 
 turned his unfortunate brother, Peter Romney, into a man of 
 letters. George Romney's personal correspondence seems to have 
 been limited to the small number of friends who, at dilTerent 
 times of his life, enjoyed his shy confidence ; to Hayley most 
 of all, who wisely printed a number of the letters in his Life of 
 the painter, where they shine like patches of truth and nature 
 amid a waste of words. Of unpublished letters of Romney we 
 have found only one of any mark — that written to Emma Hart 
 in 1786, from which we quote below. 
 
 Of our second group of sources, contemporary references, 
 there are singularly few ; a mere nothing, if we compare them

 with the abundance of those which bear upon Reynolds, and scanty- 
 even in comparison with the little that the men of that time 
 thought it worth while to say or print about Gainsborough, or 
 even Wilson. It is something of a paradox that an artist should 
 have had before him so many hundreds of sitters, including many 
 of the most eminent men and many of the most beautiful and 
 charming women of their time ; that he should have been sought 
 after ; that he should have become, as Romney did, "the rage;" 
 and yet that he should have left so little impression upon the 
 minds of nearly all of them, that, except by a little group, his 
 personality and his very name passed without record. Reynolds 
 charmed, or at least impressed, them all ; Gainsborough's artistic 
 self-assertiveness acted often like a challenge ; but Romney, 
 though we happen to know that he used to try to make his sitters 
 talk, remained in their eyes just a maker of portraits. In spite of 
 his daily contact with three, four, or five sitters, he was at heart 
 a recluse ; he gave up his evenings to sketching rather than to 
 society ; he belonged but to one small Club, at whose meetings 
 we can well believe that he was a very irregular attendant ; 
 above all, he would join no artistic Society; and after 1772 — 
 that is to say, during the whole of his great period — he refused 
 to exhibit a single picture, except in Boydell's Shakespeare 
 Gallery. Later, we shall have to refer sometimes to his 
 relations with his brother artists ; let it here only be remarked 
 that in Romney's day to be outside the Academy meant a very 
 different thing from what it means now. It meant that a man 
 could not, even if he wished, bring his work before the notice 
 of the public, and the inevitable result was that, however 
 high his reputation may have stood among private clients, to 
 the public he was practically unknown. A curious test of 
 Romney's comparative obscurity, in spite of the overwhelming 
 number ol those whose portraits he painted, may be employed 
 by anyone who turns to the indices of the two great books which 
 pass in review all the intellectual and much of the social life of 
 
 3 B 2 
 
George Romney. 
 
 England during that time. It will be found that Boswell's "Life 
 of Johnson" teems with references to Reynolds, and mentions 
 Romney exactly once. And if this is not a fair test, seeing that 
 Reynolds and Johnson were intimate friends, no such objection 
 can be brought in the case of Horace Walpole, who only half 
 liked Sir Joshua, and wholly disliked the circle in which he 
 moved. Here surely was room for artistic partisanship ; we 
 might have expected that Walpole, like Lord Thurlow, would 
 have been " ot the Romney faction." Walpole was once, indeed, 
 betrayed into writing some pretty verses about Romney's portrait 
 of Lady Craven ; but it was a temporary lapse on his part. As 
 a matter of fact, in the nine volumes of Walpole's Letters there 
 are just fifty references to Reynolds and only one to Romney, 
 which indeed is not to any of his paintings, but — like the reference 
 in Boswell — is a contemptuous mention of the dedication to 
 Romney which Richard Cumberland had prefixed to his Odes. 
 
 There remain the three published accounts of the painter, 
 written from different points of view by people who knew him. 
 The first would hardly claim attention, since it was a mere sketch, 
 filling but seven pages of a magazine, were it not that to con- 
 trovert it was one of the avowed causes of Hayley's " Life " ; 
 while disgust with this book of Hayley's was, in its turn, the 
 first reason why the Rev. John Romney gave his father's Memoirs 
 to the world. Romney died in November, 1802, and seven 
 months later, Richard Cumberland, one of the best-known literary 
 men of the day and a personal friend of many years' standing, 
 published an account of Romney in the " European Magazine." 
 It was based on personal knowledge, and the account of the 
 painter's early life professed to be a transcript of what Romney 
 himself had told his fi-iend. Allowing for some lapses of memory, 
 and for a certain exaggeration here and there, it was good so far 
 as it went ; and it gives a better impression of Romney as a 
 man of genius — as a man who could present original ideas in 
 vigorous and original forms — than either of the longer Lives. 
 
 4 
 
George Romney. 
 
 It was supplemented by a few pages on the painter's characteristics, 
 pubHshed in Cumberland's own Memoirs in 1805. 
 
 In 1809 William Hayley published, in a quarto volume, his 
 " Life of George Romney," a portentous work which none but 
 the professed student is in these days called upon to read, but 
 which is, as the booksellers say, still " sought after " on account 
 of the four or five beautiful engravings made for it by Caroline 
 Watson, nearly all from studies of Lady Hamilton. Of the 
 two reasons which Hayley gives for the publication, the first was 
 that it had been Romney's " affectionate desire " that his life 
 " might be faithfully recorded by his most intimate friend.'* 
 Hayley gives his second reason : "I have an additional motive 
 to prepare a Life of Romney : a memorial of my friend has 
 appeared which I could not peruse without feelings of indignation ; 
 for though it bears the signature of an author of great and of 
 deserved celebrity, it is in truth a coarse misrepresentation of the 
 man whose memory it is my duty and my delight to defend, as 
 far as justice can allow me to proceed in his defence." When 
 Hayley proceeds to drive home the charge thus ponderously 
 opened, we find that it comes to nothing more than this — that 
 Cumberland had stated with regard to Romney that, " conscious 
 of his deficiency in point of education, he was never seen at any 
 of the tables of the great, Lord Thurlow's excepted." Cumberland 
 had slightly over-stated the case, and had volunteered a reason 
 which was only partially true, if true at all ; but we certainly 
 could not quarrel with him had he stated that between Romney 
 and his eminent sitters, between the artist and that fascinating 
 world to which so many of them belonged, there was but little 
 mutual attraction. Having made his sorrowful protest, Hayley 
 proceeds with the Life, devoting but sixty pages to the first forty 
 years — to the time of apprenticeship in the North, of struggle 
 in London, and the wonderful Wanderjahr in Italy, till, in 1776, 
 the biographer made Romney's acquaintance through the friendly 
 introduction of Meyer the painter. But if sixty pages cover 
 
 5 
 
George Romney. 
 
 the whole of these years, it requires nearly three hundred to tell 
 the tale, not, indeed, of the remainder of Romney's life, of the 
 sudden ripening and rich fruit-time of his art, of the men and 
 women with whom he came in contact, of his theories, of his 
 technical practice, and of his achievement, but almost exclusively 
 of the intercourse between him and his friend the Bard of 
 Eartham, the soi-disant inspirer of the painter's ideas ; the small- 
 minded rhetorician, whose jealousy barred the way to the painter's 
 return to his home as well as to his natural advancement ; the 
 flatterer who paid himself in pictures ; and, as is proved by more 
 than one extant unpublished letter, the hypocritical professor of 
 a virtue not his own. 
 
 Hayley's book appeared in 1809, his "Life of Cowper" in 
 1804, and it would appear that each had an equal share in 
 suggesting to the youthful Byron one ol the most famous lines 
 in his famous character of the Sussex Bard — 
 
 " Whether he strings weak couplets into plays, 
 Or damns the dead with purgatorial praise." 
 
 For us the principal effect of the volume was that it led Romney's 
 son to take in hand his father's Memoirs. He seems to have 
 begun his book almost at once, but it was not published for 
 more than twenty years; not, in fact, till 1830. John Romney 
 was a man of some education ; had been a Fellow of St. John's, 
 Cambridge, and lived as a country gentleman at Whitestock Hall, 
 near Ulverstone, the house built on the estate which the painter 
 had purchased a year or two before he died. There the Rev. 
 John Romney lived an old-fashioned country life, devoting himself, 
 as is shown in several unpublished letters of his, rather to field- 
 sports and rural pursuits than to the duties of his profession. 
 He had always disliked Hayley, and regarded his influence over 
 the painter as disastrous both to his art and to his relations with 
 his family, and when Hayley's book came out he seems to have 
 said to himself, " I will vindicate my father's memory against 
 this man's unctuous arrogance ; I will show that he was a great

 and original artist, and that he was not formed, schooled, and 
 made famous by this literary parasite." If John Romney had 
 been a little cleverer, a little less heavy in hand, he would have 
 written a good book, for he had all the materials, he had sufficient 
 industry, and he was in touch with a good many of his father's 
 old friends. Unfortunately he was dull, respectable, and unsatisfy- 
 ing. He was reticent where he ought to have been communicative ; 
 he knew little about art, and is therefore uninteresting as a critic ; 
 and he was far too much moved by his jealousy of Sir Joshua 
 Reynolds to be a dispassionate historian. He had no imagination, 
 and not much literary skill. He is feebly sophistical when he 
 has to deal with the two leading facts of Romney's personal 
 life — his virtual desertion of his wife, and his relations with 
 Emma Hart. It may be granted that these were difficult matters 
 for a son to handle, but John Romney might have handled them 
 better than he did. It is curious, too, considering the actual 
 circumstances of the case, that in his description of the painter's 
 last years he never once mentions his own mother ; and this 
 although one or two unpublished letters of his, written to her 
 about 1790, show that mother and son were on excellent terms. 
 It is his " friends in the North " that Romney visits ; the patient 
 wife, the forgiving and devoted nurse, is never referred to. The 
 Memoirs, in fact, form an inadequate book. But it is their very 
 inadequacy that affords the best excuse to the modern commen- 
 tator or critic who ventures on a new account of Romney a century 
 after his death. 
 
 I.— EARLY YEARS. 
 
 Romney's career divides itself naturally into three parts — 
 his early years in the North, his first residence in London up to 
 the time of his Italian journey, and his second residence in 
 London after his return, when, in his house in Cavendish Square, 
 
 7

 he painted nearly all the fashionable world and, in their opinion, 
 divided with Sir Joshua the supremacy of English portrait-painting. 
 The first period extends from the date ot his birth, Dec. 15, 
 1734, to 1762, the second from 1762 to 1773, and the third 
 from the summer of 1775 till about 1796. For two years 
 longer he was to live in London or at Hampstead, before his 
 final return to the North. But his powers were not what 
 they were; his hand shook, he had become hypochondriacal, 
 and he added nothing material to the sum of his production 
 after his sixty-second year. 
 
 He came of a pure North-country stock, his ancestors having 
 been " statesmen," that is to say, small yeomen owning their 
 hill-farms, near Appleby in Westmoreland. His mother, Ann 
 Simpson, was of Sladebank in Millom, Cumberland, and he 
 himself was born just across the Lancashire border at the little 
 town of Dalton-in-Furness. The ruins of Furness Abbey are 
 close by, and a few miles to the south is now the great new 
 town of Barrow, which owes its existence to the vast iron- 
 mining industry, which in Romney's day was as yet in its 
 infancy. Dalton itself has now some of the characteristics of a 
 mining town, but in the early eighteenth century it does not 
 seem to have differed from the ordinary type of large village 
 to be found all over the North, nor were Romney's own people 
 different from the ordinary trading folk who congregated there. 
 He was one of ten children of John Romney, son of George, 
 who had migrated from Appleby to Lancaster and thence to 
 Furness ; and this John, according to his grandson, the writer 
 of the painter's Memoirs, " was by trade a carpenter, joiner, and 
 cabinet-maker, and of a very extensive business."* He was more, 
 however, than a tradesman ; he was a most ingenious mechanic, 
 
 * The name was often written " Rumney," and it appears in that form in several 
 MS. letters in my possession. Mr. A. W. Rumney, of Keswick, thinks that the origin 
 of the word was " Romany," and that some remote ancestors of our painter were gipsies.

 and his grandson writes with legitimate pride of his " iron mould 
 board " for the farmers, of his furze-chopping machine, and of 
 his introduction of mahogany fiirniture into North Lancashire. 
 Evidently it was from him that George Romney inherited much 
 of his manual skill and ingenuity, though, as his biographer 
 complains, to "watch his father carve Corinthian capitals" was 
 scarcely a substitute for a real training in art. 
 
 George was sent to school to the village of Dendron, a few 
 miles from Dalton, the master being the Rev. Mr. Fell, " who 
 educated scholars at the moderate rate of five shillings a quarter,"* 
 and he boarded with a Mr. Gardner, whose fees appear to have 
 been on a similar scale. If the Rev. Mr. Fell did not charge 
 him much, in return he taught him next to nothing, not even to 
 write and spell decently ; and at eleven years old the boy was 
 taken away, to enter his father's workshop, where he remained 
 eight years. Nearly all that is worth recording of this time consists 
 in a few facts preserved by his son, or by his friend Cumberland, 
 which show that, just as had been the case with young Gains- 
 borough in Sudbury four or five years before, his artistic impulses 
 were beginning to break out against unfavourable conditions, 
 and that they carried him to music as well as to drawing. We 
 need not trouble ourselves with the controversy between his early 
 biographers as to whether he first learned drawing through copying 
 the prints in a magazine or from a more dignified source, the copy 
 of Leonardo's Treatise on Painting which happened to be in the 
 house ; t enough to say that by some unnamed date in his boy- 
 hood he had learnt to draw portraits sufficiently well to make it 
 seem a reasonable suggestion that he should become an artist. 
 According to John Romney's book, the first person to make this 
 suggestion in all seriousness was a friend of Romney's family, 
 Mrs. Gardner of Kendal, whose son Daniel afterwards became a

 favourite portrait-painter. His first interest in music appears to 
 have come to him through " a very ingenious man of the name of 
 Williamson, a watchmaker by trade," who played the violin, taught 
 young Romney the rudiments of it, and, on a memorable night, 
 took him to Whitehaven to hear Giardini play. It is interesting 
 to reflect that nothing has so much helped to keep alive the 
 memory of this Sarasate of the eighteenth century as the admira- 
 tion that he excited in the breasts of two great painters, Romney 
 and Gainsborough. Whether Romney's own musical studies 
 were afterwards carried so far as Gainsborough's, it would be 
 difficult to say ; we know at least that he made and carved 
 a fine violin, and that he " kept it by him as a chef-d'oeuvre to 
 the day of his death. Upon this violin," says Richard Cum- 
 berland, " the writer of these Memoirs has heard the maker 
 of it perform in a room hung round with pictures of his own 
 painting; which is rather a singular coincidence of arts in the 
 person of one man." 
 
 A curious and not unpleasant light is thrown upon the cir- 
 cumstances of Romney's youth by an unpublished letter in the 
 present writer's possession. It was written to Hayley by Colonel 
 James Romney, the painter's brother, soon after the publication of 
 that article of Cumberland's which gave so much offence to some 
 of the family and friends, because it had charged Romney with 
 being ill-educated and practically unfit for " the tables of the 
 great." The Colonel defends his brother against the charge of 
 having no books. " His father was a great reader, and could have 
 books from several neighbours of great respectability whenever he 
 pleased. These he had, which my brother read with peculiar 
 pleasure." Then comes a testimonial to Williamson, " called a 
 philosopher." " Williamson," he says, " played in a masterly 
 manner on the violin, and had a great deal of excellent music. 
 He was a great astronomer, mathematician and chemist, and my 
 brother was a disciple to Williamson." Then comes an amusing 
 picture of the little circle at Dalton, racy of the Northern soil : — 
 
 lO 
 
Early Years. 
 
 " As to his associating himself, as Mr. Cumberland says, with 
 very low companions, it is an error. The society of my father's 
 family was respectable, of which Mr. Williamson two or three 
 times a week made one. Tom Knight was a labourer who 
 generally worked for my father ; but he had formerly been a 
 voyage or two to sea, and had a peculiar humour in his narration 
 that made him frequently, not to George only, but to the family, a 
 most entertaining guest ; for his stories, which were related with 
 extraordinary simplicity, were always productive of mirth and satis- 
 faction. But Tom was the humblest of the country wits. Tom 
 Kendal, a master iron-maker [this word is nearly illegible], was 
 almost a Falstaif" in wit, and his young man, Mr. Wardley, was 
 his Bardolph. These were country wits, but were not inferior 
 to some of Shakespeare's finest characters in low humour. 
 They could never be said to be his companions, but whenever 
 he could have the enjoyment of their originality he sought to 
 obtain it." 
 
 Not till Romney was twenty years of age was the final 
 decision taken which liberated him from his father's workshop 
 and set him in the way to become a painter. Doubtless what 
 enabled the step to be taken at that moment was the presence, in 
 a neighbouring town, of an artist who was willing to take the lad 
 as an apprentice. This was Christopher Steele, a man about 
 whom we know just enough to make us wish to know more. 
 According to Cumberland, he was " an itinerant dauber " — evi- 
 dently such a man as the limner who, in the " Vicar of Wake- 
 field," painted the seven Miss Flamboroughs, "each with an orange 
 in her hand." Hayley is verbosely indignant at the insulting 
 phrase, and appeals with some success to the authority of one of 
 Romney's own pupils, Robinson of Windermere, to show that the 
 man to whom he had been entrusted " was not so contemptible a 
 painter as one would suppose fi-om Mr. Cumberland's account. 
 The giving him all the praise he deserves can detract nothing fi-om 
 our admirable artist, who often mentioned that he drew with

 correctness, and described him to me as ' a 7ieat pai?ite7~ ' / He 
 once showed me his portrait by himself which, he said, was as 
 good as the portraits of Hudson." Steele's works have passed 
 into oblivion, like those of a hundred other painters of the 
 eighteenth century whose work was good, but not good enough 
 to keep their name alive. Doubtless, if any survive and come 
 from time to time into the market, they are sold as " unknown," 
 or still more probably under the name of one of the seven or 
 eight artists who happen to be remembered. But if we cannot 
 test Steele's artistic merits by reference to any known works, we 
 have sufficient evidence to give us some knowledge of his personal 
 character. " There was at that time, figuring away at Kendal," 
 says the author of the Memoirs, " an itinerant painter of some 
 celebrity whose name was Steele ; but who, having been in Paris, 
 and having adopted the French manners and the style of dress, 
 and being withal of a showy appearance, had acquired the 
 nickname of Count Steele." In Paris he had worked in the 
 studio of Carle van Loo ; and he appears to have brought back 
 from the French capital certain airs and graces, habits which, 
 a century later, would have been called Bohemian, and, what was 
 of more importance, a knowledge of the grammar of his art. He 
 could draw, and he taught Romney how to mix colours. What 
 the Memoir writer calls the " singular clearness and sweetness 
 of tone in the colouring " of Romney's pictures, whether early 
 or late — a quality in which he stands alone among the English 
 painters of his day — is largely due to what he learned during his 
 apprenticeship to Steele. 
 
 Romney's indenture of apprenticeship to Steele, which is 
 printed in the Memoirs, is dated March 20, 1755. For a year 
 and a half master and pupil appear to have worked in Kendal, 
 but during that time Romney never ventured upon a picture, if 
 we are to accept his son's statement that a head of himself, painted 
 in York, was his earliest work in oil. Hayley tells a romantic 
 story, which may or may not be true, about Romney helping his 
 
 12 
 
Early Years. 
 
 master to elope with an heiress ; but all that we know is that at this 
 time he himself made that unfortunate marriage which was the 
 great mistake of his life. Whether Mary Abbot, as Hayley relates, 
 was his landlady's daughter, who nursed him through an illness, or 
 whether, as John Romney puts it, she was merely " a young 
 female, into whose society he had happened to be introduced soon 
 after he came to Kendal," is a matter of no consequence ; it is 
 enough to know that she was a young girl of Romney's own class, 
 that they fell in love, and that, on Steele's sudden announcement 
 that he meant to migrate to York and take his pupil with him, 
 they were married in Kendal Church on October 14, 1756, pos- 
 sessing no means of any kind, and few prospects but " water and 
 a crust" and the brilliant uncertainties of art. Ten or twelve 
 years later, Romney painted in his wife's portrait — a head which, 
 after remaining in the possession of the family till 1894, passed 
 out of it at Miss Romney's sale. It represents a woman of the 
 people, thin, with high cheek-bones and melancholy eyes ; a good, 
 kind, self-sacrificing woman, but anxious, and essentially unhappy. 
 By that time, as we shall see, Romney had made his move to 
 London, and had followed for four or five years the pathway of 
 success ; but the prospect of his ever asking her to rejoin him 
 was receding further and further into the distance. 
 
 Over the years between 1756 and 1762 we may pass rapidly; 
 the more so since some of the episodes on which it would be most 
 pleasant to dwell have been a good deal embroidered by Hayley 
 and by Cumberland. The latter, for example, tells us that the 
 young apprentice, having been carried off to York soon after his 
 marriage, was there taken into the " favour and protection " of 
 Laurence Sterne, Steele's jealousy being aroused thereby. We 
 should like to believe a story which brings together two such 
 celebrated names ; but Hayley denies it altogether, on Romney's 
 own authority, and declares that the young painter saw nothing 
 more of Sterne than a pupil would naturally see of a man sitting to 
 his master. Still, the famous writer must have exercised some 
 
 13 
 
George Romney. 
 
 attraction upon Romney, since at least two of the painter's early 
 works were illustrations of " Tristram Shandy." 
 
 What we know is that during his year at York he made 
 sufficient progress to be able to finish Steele's pictures ; that he 
 collected the payments for them, and, a rare event in Steele's 
 peregrinations, paid his master's debts, and enabled him to leave 
 York on the best of terms with its inhabitants. We know also that 
 Romney here bought and studied various old prints, which he 
 afterwards copied at Kendal, and that, as Hayley says, he " had 
 the advantage of seeing, and perhaps copying, some good pictures 
 in York." * Soon afterwards, while they were working at Lan- 
 caster, the pupil and the master separated, Steele consenting to 
 cancel the indentures after the lapse of two years instead of four, 
 while Romney on his side cancelled a debt of ten pounds owed to 
 him by the improvident Steele. Either then Hayley's story of his 
 runaway marriage with an heiress is a myth, or the young lady had 
 already learnt not to fritter away her fortune in paying her 
 husband's debts. 
 
 In 1757 then, when he was not yet twenty-three, Romney 
 felt himself strong enough to stand alone. He returned to Kendal, 
 and very soon obtained work in the town and neighbourhood, 
 charging " two guineas for a three-quarters portrait, and six for 
 a whole-figure on a Kitcat canvas." A certain number of these 
 pictures still remain in old homes in the neighbourhood of Kendal; 
 there are some at beautiful Sizergh, the fine old castle between 
 Kendal and Heversham, which has for over twenty generations 
 been in the possession of the Strickland family. There are several 
 at Dallam Tower, while at Brcttargh-Holt, near Kendal, there are 
 at least three excellent portraits by the young Kendal painter, 
 though they belong to a somewhat later stage, for he painted these

Early Years. 
 
 Rawlinson portraits in Lancaster two or three years afterwards. 
 The Lancaster pictures mark an advance upon those painted at 
 Kendal or in the neighbourhood, but even these are remarkable 
 achievements in their way, when one considers the scanty oppor- 
 tunities of training that had come in the young painter's way. In 
 a London shop, a few years ago, were portraits of two boys of a 
 family named Ormathwaite, painted just at this time, which in spite 
 of certain faults of drawing, were full of the promise of great 
 things. Like the Strickland pictures, they were a little stiiT and 
 undecided in handling, but they were clear and pleasant in colour ; 
 they showed an insight into character ; their touch was that of a 
 painter. It was curious also to remark that they were painted on 
 twilled canvas, which, as all collectors know, Romney continued 
 to use till the end of his life. It is the rarest thing in the world 
 to find a Sir Joshua painted on twilled canvas, and it is equally 
 rare to find a Romney painted on anything else. 
 
 Like many a great portrait-painter before and since, Romney 
 never found in portrait-painting, no matter what success it brought 
 him, full satisfaction for his artistic ambition. Many years later, in 
 the days of his high prosperity, we shall find him speaking bitterly 
 of the drudgery of it, scheming to get away from it, and pining for 
 the time when he may devote himself to " great art " and what the 
 eighteenth century knew as " history." Perhaps it is not fanciful 
 to find in some of the pictures painted in this early Kendal period 
 traces of the same divine discontent. There happens to exist a 
 record of several works other than portraits painted at this time — 
 works which were not commissioned and not bought — for who 
 bought pictures then, at least in the provincial towns ? — and by 
 the time he left Kendal he had twenty of them on hand, and 
 offered them in the Town Hall "to be disposed of in the manner 
 of the State Lottery," there being eighty-two tickets at ten shillings 
 and sixpence each. A list was printed at the time, and is copied 
 in the Memoirs with the sizes ; eight of the twenty pictures were 
 originals and twelve were " fi-om the designs of eminent masters "

 — copied, that is to say, from the prints and pictures which the 
 young apprentice had bought or seen at York. The interest of 
 the list of original pictures lies in the fact that, while Romney was 
 already trying his hand in various directions, experimenting in 
 candle-light effects and in scenes a la Holla?idaise^ the two largest 
 and most important pictures were illustrations of King Lear. 
 Even thus early, then, the fascination of Shakespeare was upon him, 
 and already, with no Boydell to encourage him, he was finding in 
 the tragedies a school of emotional painting. Two of the other 
 pictures have an interest of a different kind. The one was " A 
 Shandean Piece " — that same queer composition of " Dr. Slop 
 introduced into the Parlour of Mr. Shandy " which Hayley 
 thought it worth while to engrave for his " Life of Romney." To 
 judge by that engraving it was not of much merit, for humour 
 was never Romney's strong point. But the fact that Romney 
 painted it, together with what appears to have been a far better 
 work, " The Death of Le Fevre," brings him back into pleasant 
 conjunction with Laurence Sterne. The other noticeable picture, 
 " A Landscape with Figures," has a personal interest because it 
 is one of the very few existing documents which show Romney 
 in a thoroughly happy relation to his own family. John Romney 
 describes it at length ; it was a boating scene on Windermere, 
 with Romney himself, his wife, and Adam Walker, who was at 
 that time, and long afterwards, one of his best friends. " Of this 
 party of pleasure," says the son, " I have heard Mrs. Romney 
 speak with much delight." Poor thing, it was one of the few 
 happy moments that she enjoyed in her grey life ! But not 
 even this pleasant record could stay in the family possession ; it 
 went to the lottery, and passed to a Miss Gibson of Lancaster, 
 in the possession of whose relatives John Romney found it so 
 late as 1798. He bought it back, and it remained at Whitestock 
 till Miss Romney's sale ten years ago. 
 
 We have practically no record of the months passed in 
 Lancaster in 1760 and 1761, except from a letter written to

 Adam Walker, and accidentally preserved by Hayley. This Adam 
 Walker, it may here be remarked, was a person of some little 
 consequence in Lancashire at the time, and his pleasant relations 
 with Romney were not without their interest and use. Romney's 
 portrait group of him and his wife, their daughter and three sons, 
 is in the National Portrait Gallery ; not a good specimen of the 
 painter, for it was a very late work, " the draperies put in by 
 somebody else," * but valuable from the personal point of view. 
 Walker was about three years older than Romney, and was a 
 Patterdale man by birth, the son of a small woollen manufacturer. 
 Like Romney's father, and like several of the painter's early friends, 
 he was an ingenious mechanical inventor. As a boy he made 
 numerous models, then became a schoolmaster at Macclesfield, then, 
 about 1760, lectured on astronomy at Manchester and in other 
 towns in the North and the Midlands. Priestley, who met him in 
 1778, advised him to lecture in London, and there he had much 
 success, attracting large audiences during several winters, and 
 becoming known as " the Philosopher," the term applied in those 
 days to any student of the physical sciences. Among other places 
 where he lectured, being then an old man, was Eton, and there 
 among his audience was the young Shelley .f If only as an 
 accidental link between painting and poetry, between Romney and 
 Shelley, Adam Walker deserves a word of respectful mention ; 
 moreover, some of his inventions were of practical importance ; it 
 was he who placed the revolving lights on the Scilly Islands. 
 Such was Adam Walker, the first of the three friends of Romney's 
 youth. The other two were less known to the world ; they were 
 Daniel Braithwaite and Thomas Greene. Each of them, however, 
 was of great use to the painter, young Braithwaite as the companion 
 of his early years in London, who sent several people to sit to him, 
 and Greene as his faithful friend, lawyer and man of business,

 whose advice and material help were at Romney's service to the 
 very end of his life. A number of letters and other documents 
 which still remain among the Romney papers give abundant proof 
 of this constant and long-continued friendship. It is pleasant 
 to think that Thomas Greene's descendants, at their house near 
 Kirkby Lonsdale, still own many of the pictures given to him by 
 Romney.*

 On the other side of the account we have a few sums received in 1767 and 1768, 
 making ^^48 if. in all. The first item is "Reed, from IVIr. Strickland of Lancaster for a 
 picture, £^ c^s. ; " and other entries are " Do. from Mr. Edward Salusbury, Mr. Wilson, 
 Captain Tindale, and Mr. Fletcher," doubtless also for pictures. Li the absence of 
 diaries it is difficult to identify Romney's pictures of this early date, so that these names 
 are worth preserving.

The Move to London. 
 
 II. THE MOVE TO LONDON. 
 
 In March, 1762, when he was in his twenty-eighth year, 
 Romney took the step that he had been long meditating, and 
 migrated to London, leaving his wife and his little son and 
 daughter behind him in the North. On this decisive act much 
 has been written by both his biographers, and especially by 
 John Romney, who felt the difficulty that must always be 
 felt by a son, anxious to be loyal to both parents, who has 
 to explain a step by which one of them has seriously suffered. 
 Romney's action, indeed, is easier to explain than to justify. 
 We need not assume, as John Romney declares that Hayley 
 insinuated, " that Mr. Romney, in thus withdrawing from his 
 family, was acting upon a plan of preconceived and deliberate 
 abandonment," Nor, on the other hand, need we think much 
 of the argument that such a plan " is in opposition to the 
 most powerful instincts of our nature ; " that because Romney 
 could paint children charmingly, therefore he could not bear to 
 part with his own. One only smiles at the filial and clerical 
 sophist who, in order to prove that the charge was untenable, 
 gravely asserts that, " as a proof that he entertained no such inten- 
 tion, he came twice afterwards to see his wife." Twice afterwards 
 — in more than forty years ! In point of fact, he came rather 
 more than twice, but his visits, whether they were three, or four, 
 or five, were at many years' interval, and there is no evidence that 
 he had the slightest intention, when he once began to succeed, of 
 either going back to live in Kendal, or of bringing his wife to live 
 with him in London. The truth is that, like many other men of 
 genius intensely devoted to their work and to all that their work 
 implies, Romney was essentially selfish, in the sense that he had 
 no abiding consciousness of social obligation. Such men have 
 
 19 D 2

 existed at all times ; they exist still ; men so firmly and exclu- 
 sively persuaded ot the importance of their work, in art or letters 
 or what not, that they easily convince themselves that nothing else 
 matters, and that not even the most solemn contract can be 
 allowed to stand in the way of their supreme duty to their genius. 
 We may give Romney all credit for believing, when he set out for 
 London with fifty pounds in his saddle-bags, that in a few years 
 he would have made enough money to enable him to send for wife 
 and children ; but, as his son ingenuously puts the matter, " a 
 succession of untoward circumstances threw impediments in the 
 way of good intent, till time and absence became impediments 
 also." First he took the fatal step of allowing himself to pass 
 among his London companions as an unmarried man. Then he 
 doubtless came to be a little ashamed of the plain North-country 
 wife, sprung from the working class ; began to wonder how she 
 would do in London — whether, in her own interests, it would not 
 be kinder to leave her in the surroundings she was accustomed to 
 — whether, finally, he would not be able to do much better for her, 
 and for the boy (for the little girl soon died), by working alone in 
 London, by sending money to her, and by saving on her behalf. 
 And then, when he had begun to save, there came other family 
 calls. His brothers " drained him ot his savings," or at all events 
 James, the young Indian officer, had to be fitted out at some 
 expense. Moreover, there was his own professional education, 
 represented first by the trip to Paris in 1764, and the much more 
 serious journey to Italy in which he spent the two years 1773-5. 
 And finally, after that, there were the ladies who sat to him, and 
 whose beauty, whose charm, whose conversation, made the thought 
 of the Kendal wife very dull and grey ; till Emma came on the 
 scene, and he enjoyed the daily presence of " the divine lady," so 
 dazzling, so fi-iendly, and of such infinite variety, that, if the painter 
 had at that time ever thought of moving the Kendal establishment 
 to London, the scheme would have been henceforth impossible. 
 Yes, Romney's treatment of his wife is easy to explain ! 
 
 20 
 
The Move to London. 
 
 Romney's different places of residence during his first years 
 in London were as follows : — 
 
 An Inn. 
 
 Dove Court, near the Mansion House. 
 
 Bookbinder's Lane. 
 
 Mews Gate, Charing Cross. 
 
 Gray's Inn (1764), and 
 
 Great Newport Street (1767). 
 
 What is noteworthy is that from the beginning the young painter, 
 once established in the capital, determined to attempt the grand 
 style, and not to remain a mere portrait-painter. In the few 
 months that he remained at Dove Court he seems to have given 
 himself up to a great " Death of Rizzio," which was to make 
 his name ; but, alas, no buyer could be found for it, and for 
 all " its extraordinary merit, combining energetic action with 
 strong expression," it had ultimately to be " sacrificed to con- 
 venience;" that is to say, the heads were cut out and the rest 
 destroyed. But to paint such a picture was good practice, as 
 was proved in the very next year, when the young and friendless 
 painter succeeded in obtaining a prize in the Society of Arts 
 Competition by his picture " The Death of Wolfe." In two 
 ways this event was of importance to Romney : it brought him 
 conspicuously before the public, and it brought him, in his own 
 idea at all events, into collision with Joshua Reynolds. We 
 need not attempt to unravel the story of the granting of the 
 fifty-guinea prize, its withdrawal in favour of Mortimer's picture, 
 and the subsequent grant of a consolation prize ; for different 
 accounts are given by the two biographers, and there seems to 
 be no decisive evidence either way. Whether the reversal of the 
 Committee's first decision was due to the interference of Reynolds 
 or not, it is evident that Romney himself believed that this was 
 the case, and that jealousy was at the bottom of it. It may 
 thus be regarded as the beginning of the unlucky estrangement 
 
 21 
 
George Romney. 
 
 which till the end kept Romney away from Reynolds and the 
 Academy, and prevented Sir Joshua from taking any steps to 
 establish cordial relations. It is one of the unfortunate pages 
 of our art-history that for some thirty years or so two of the 
 greatest of English portrait-painters regarded one another, not 
 as colleagues and co?if?-e7'eSj but as trade competitors and enemies. 
 As to the picture which seems to have started the quarrel, it is 
 noticeable that it anticipated by eight years the much more 
 celebrated composition of Benjamin West on the same subject, 
 and that it gave rise to something of the same kind of discussion 
 as was aroused by West's picture. All sorts of puerile objections 
 were raised to the painting of a battle-scene in modern costume, 
 and even to a picture being considered " historical " when no 
 historian had yet described the scene it portrayed. It is pretty 
 evident, however, that the work made an impression. Romney 
 was bracketed with Reynolds in the verse of a poet of the day ; * 
 and the picture was bought by a friend of Romney's, the banker, 
 Rowland Stephenson, presented to Governor Verelst, and placed 
 by him in the Council Chamber at Calcutta. It is interesting 
 to note that one of the best of Romney's early full-length 
 portraits, painted some eight or ten years later, was that of 
 Mrs. Verelst. 
 
 In 1762, when Romney arrived in London, the position 
 of the arts was very different from what it had been a generation 
 earlier under the prosaic rule of George II. 
 
 The second King of the House of Brunswick cared nothing 
 for art. He seldom commissioned even his own portrait, and as for 
 extending Royal encouragement to the early efforts of the artists 
 to organise themselves, such a thing was not to be thought of.

 HARRY VERELST, Esq. 
 
The Move to London. 
 
 There were a number of respectable painters, but the unclubbable 
 Hogarth was the only genius among them. Jervas and Richardson 
 at the beginning of the reign, and afterwards Hudson, Knapton, 
 Vanloo and Francis Cotes, with a number whose names have disap- 
 peared, painted tolerable portraits ; but none of them succeeded 
 in charming the town, or in leading the lay mind to regard art as 
 in any sense one of the necessities of existence. Nay, it was only 
 in 1735 that the artists secured legal protection for their property. 
 It was only in that year that Parliament, yielding to a movement 
 headed by Hogarth, granted copyright in works of art. 
 
 All this had been changed at the date at which we have 
 now arrived, and changed mainly by two of those happy accidents 
 which count for so much in history. The throne had been 
 occupied by a young King who, whatever less admirable qualities 
 he afterwards developed, started with the idea that a great 
 country ought to be a civilised country, and that art counted 
 for something in civilisation. The other and more vital accident 
 was the existence of a man of genius, Joshua Reynolds, who, 
 in the eight years of his practice in London, had taught the 
 ruling classes not that such a thing as art existed — they knew 
 that before, but they thought that it only existed in the lands 
 which they traversed in making the Grand Tour — but that it 
 might exist in the brain and brush of an Englishman living and 
 working among them. Hogarth indeed had tried to teach the 
 same lesson ; but his methods had been too rough, his satire 
 too sharp, and his words too bitter to have much effect on the 
 spoiled children of fortune, who must be humoured if they are 
 to be taught. In 1760 Joshua Reynolds moved to the large 
 house in Leicester Square where he lived for the rest of his life, 
 and a glance at the list of sitters, given for that year and those 
 that follow in LesHe and Taylor's " Life," shows the phenomenal 
 success that he had already attained. In the pocket-book for 
 1760 are the names of a hundred and twenty sitters ; in 176 1 
 the month of January alone shows more than thirty. Here are 
 
 23 
 
George Romney. 
 
 the names of half the celebrities of the day — Amhersts and 
 Curzons, Richmonds and Edgcumbes, Lord Granby, the great 
 soldier ; Sir Walter Blackett, the Newcastle magnate ; Garrick 
 and Foote, Dodsley and Laurence Sterne, the beautiful Lady 
 Waldegrave, and the matchless Nelly O'Brien. Of these people 
 he was painting the pictures that we know ; and it is small 
 wonder that to a generation brought up on Hudson and Knapton 
 the effect was overwhelming. Reynolds, in fact, had already 
 made art fashionable ; the great and the small world had both 
 begun to see that it must count for something, and by a natural 
 sequence the artists as a class became conscious of their position, 
 and began to organise themselves. The movement in favour of 
 a Royal Academy, which had more than once been feebly 
 attempted, began once more to show signs of life. But mean- 
 time there were two Societies at work, and the new principle of 
 annual exhibitions had been definitely accepted and put in 
 practice. The " Society of Artists of Great Britain " had held 
 their first exhibition in 1760, in the Great Room of the Society 
 of Arts in the Adelphi, which is still so well known and so 
 much frequented. It had a great success, and in the third year 
 it moved to Spring Gardens, charged a shilling for admission, 
 and published a catalogue with a pretty allegorical frontispiece 
 by Wale, and a preface by the great Dr. Johnson. " The 
 purpose of this Exhibition," says Johnson, " is not to enrich the 
 Artists, but to advance the Art ; the eminent are not flatter'd 
 with preference, nor the obscure insulted with contempt ; who- 
 ever hopes to deserve public favour is here invited to display 
 his merit." It was in this year, and in this exhibition, that 
 Reynolds showed his wonderful " Garrick between Tragedy and 
 Comedy " ; and in the same catalogue we find, from the hand 
 of Mr. Gainsborough, " A whole-length of a Gentleman with 
 a Gun." Even if Romney, however, had been prepared with a 
 picture he would not have sent it to the exhibition of this 
 Society — the "Incorporated," as it was called after 1766 — for 
 
 24 
 
The Move to London. 
 
 his interest, till 1770, lay with the rival body, the " Free Society," 
 a little group exhibiting in Maiden Lane. 
 
 In little more than two years from his first arrival in London, 
 Romney had saved money enough to enable him to visit Paris. 
 Unfortunately there remains no diary of the portraits painted 
 in these early years, but it is evident that the success of the 
 " General Wolfe " had made him talked about, and had brought 
 sitters to his studio ; the Memoirs indeed tell us that this was 
 the case. The idea of bringing his wife to London was fading 
 further and further into the distance, and the painter easily 
 persuaded himself that it was much better to spend his savings 
 on improving his art, and that a visit to Paris was indispensable 
 for this purpose. Sitters v^^ould ask him. Had he been abroad, 
 to France and Italy ? and the shy young man, conscious of the 
 little that he had read and the little he had seen, answered No, 
 but resolved that he would presently make a different reply. So 
 with " Mr. Greene of Gray's Inn, his oldest and most confidential 
 friend," he started for Dunkerque in September, 1764, and arrived 
 in Paris by way of Lille. It was an immense event for him, 
 for he was received as cordially as if no war had just been 
 raging between the two countries. The gauche Englishman, who 
 could not speak a word of their language, was welcomed by the 
 French artists in the true spirit of fraternity ; and though we have 
 no record of any such social pleasures as fell to his lot twenty-five 
 years later, when he visited Paris under the wing of Madame de 
 Genlis, enough is known to show how much he gained artistically 
 during this first short sojourn. His chief friend was the celebrated 
 Joseph Vernet, second of the long dynasty, who was then, at the 
 age of fifty, at the height of his fame, having just completed his 
 great commission for the King, twenty pictures of the seaports of 
 France — pictures still to be seen in the Louvre. All readers of 
 the " Salons " of Diderot will remember the enthusiasm with which 
 the illustrious writer speaks of the landscapes and shore-pieces 
 of Vernet, finding in them a way of looking at Nature which 
 
 25 E

 reminded him of the soft sentiment of his beloved Greuze. Ten 
 years before, in Rome, Vernet had behaved with admiring kindness 
 to another struggHng English artist, Richard Wilson. What he 
 now did for Romney in Paris was not only to give him generally 
 a helping hand, but to introduce him to the Louvre, the Luxem- 
 bourg, and the Orleans Gallery, then the glory of the Palais Royal. 
 The English painter's verdict upon it all, and upon the French 
 taste of the period, is curious and even amusing. He writes to 
 his brother Peter : "I was very much struck with the strange 
 appearance of things at the first sight. The degeneracy of taste 
 that runs through everything is farther gone here than in London. 
 The ridiculous and fantastical are the only points they seem to 
 aim at. The paintings I have yet seen are not much better — 
 I mean by the present masters ; but those ot the time of Louis 
 the Fourteenth are very great, and every church and palace is 
 filled with them." 
 
 These words betray a quaint unconsciousness on Romney's 
 part of the variety and intensity with which, in a score of de- 
 partments, art was pursued in France through the whole of the 
 eighteenth century. Alike in architecture, in painting, in deco- 
 ration, and in the arts devoted to industry, France was then 
 leading Europe, for the good reason that art was in the blood 
 of her people, and that the leaders found, as they find still, appre- 
 ciation and encouragement. Moreover, it would be difficult to 
 name a moment in which the arts were more generally flourishing 
 tlian about this year, 1764, the beginning of the last decade of the 
 reign of Louis Quinze. In sculpture, it was the day of Bouchardon 
 and Pigalle ; in architecture, of Gabriel and his Trianon ; in 
 the decorative arts, of the Sevres factory, of Boucher's direction 
 of the Gobelins, and of the furniture-makers who were ruining 
 themselves for the King's mistresses. In painting, if Romney 
 had waited till the next year's Salon, he would have seen 
 Boucher exhibiting seven pastorals, Greuze five or six fancy 
 heads and half a dozen portraits ; and, had he stayed till 
 
 26 
 
The Move to London. 
 
 1766, he might have been present at the funeral of Nattier. 
 It is significant that these painters did not interest him, and 
 that in choosing a French artist of the past about whom 
 he might become enthusiastic, he named, not Watteau but Le 
 Sueur. Gainsborough would have chosen differently; we know 
 how strongly — perhaps through the agency of his first teacher, 
 Gravelot — the painter of " The Mall in St. James's Park " felt 
 the influence of the painter of " The Voyage to Cythera." But 
 lightness of fancy and a feathery delicacy of touch were not what 
 attracted Romney. However the taste may have been first im- 
 planted in him, he was a classicist, and it was the classical simpli- 
 city of his art at its maturity which constituted half its charm in 
 the eyes of the English connoisseur of his day, as of our own. 
 And so, while waiting for that full satisfaction which he was to 
 find a few years later in the marbles and the frescoes of Rome, 
 he was content to admire the " very great" masters of the time of 
 Louis XIV., and especially Eustache Le Sueur. Those of us who 
 remember the cold array of Le Sueur's pictures in the Louvre, 
 his " Apparition de Ste. Scholastique," his " Descente de Croix," 
 his great " Predication de St. Paul a Ephese," and the rest, find 
 such a judgment difficult to agree with, but not difficult to 
 understand. We have to remember that in Romney 's day Raphael 
 and the Roman school had not been vulgarised by ten thousand 
 repetitions ; that Romney had practically never seen Raphael ; and 
 that, to a young artist like himself, enamoured of form and com- 
 position, and full of notions of the dignity of art as inter- 
 woven with the subject of it, these works of the French Raphael, 
 as Le Sueur was called, were a very fair substitute for the real 
 thing. Later on, in Venice, when he had fallen under the 
 charm of Titian, Romney would probably have found the colour, 
 or the colourlessness, of Le Sueur intolerable. And yet, who 
 knows ? Reynolds, our great colourist, praised that painter, and 
 in the fiiU tide of romantic revival did not Theophile Gautier, the 
 literary apostle of Delacroix and of colour as against formal 
 
 27 E 2 
 
George Romney. 
 
 drawing, express something like enthusiasm for the " Jesus portant 
 sa Croix " of Le Sueur — cette compositmi si simple^ avec so?i 
 coloris d''une touchante paleur f Anyhow, tlie judgment pro- 
 nounced by Romney is not without importance to those who wish 
 to explain to themselves his artistic ideals. Over and over again, 
 as we look through his sketch-books of every date, or through 
 the drawings in the Fitzwilliam Museum and elsewhere, we come 
 upon one which, except for the comparative carelessness of the 
 drawing, has strong analogies with Le Sueur ; and, as we shall 
 often have occasion to note when we come to the painter's later 
 years, it was always on great religious or historical compositions 
 that his mind was set. 
 
 According to Hayley, who had probably heard some remark 
 of the kind from Romney's own lips, the painter was also much 
 influenced by the Marie de Medicis series, painted by 
 Rubens for the Luxembourg. Had he seen them as they are 
 now, installed in the glorious gallery where, for the first time 
 since they were painted, they can be known and judged, they 
 would have impressed him profoundly ; but as a matter of fact, 
 it is difficult to find any traces of the freedom and grandeur of 
 Rubens in the pictures painted during the next short stage of 
 Romney's career — the stage between his return from Paris in 
 the autumn of 1764 and his departure for Italy in 1773. The 
 records of these years, so far as they touch Romney, are very 
 scanty, though the period is one of the most interesting in the 
 history of English art, since it includes the birth and early years 
 of the Royal Academy. Only the names of his exhibited pictures 
 have been preserved ; of the rest, which must have amounted 
 to some hundreds, we have no written record, and when they 
 are discovered, their attribution has to be settled by family 
 tradition or by the evidence of style. The following is the list 
 given in the Memoirs : — 
 
 1765. " The Death of King Edmund." 
 " Portrait of a Gentleman."

 " A Conversation," containing small full-length portraits of his brothers 
 Peter and James Romney. 
 
 1768. " A Group of Mr. Leigh and Family." 
 
 1 769. " Sir George and Lady Warren and Daughter." 
 
 All the above, except the " Death of King Edmund," which 
 was not exhibited with either of the Societies, were shown in 
 the rooms of the Free Society, first in Maiden Lane and then 
 in the room hired fi-om Christie, the auctioneer, in Pall Mall. 
 In 1770 Romney left them for the Incorporated Society in 
 Spring Gardens. Here he exhibited as follows : — 
 
 1770. "A Figure of Melancholy." 
 " A Figure of Mirth." 
 
 1 77 1. " Full-length of Mrs. Yates as ' The Tragic Muse.' " 
 
 " An Officer (Major Pearson) conversing with a Brahmin." 
 " A Lady and Child." 
 "A Beggar Man." 
 
 1772. " Portrait of Ozias Humphry." 
 " Another Portrait." 
 
 " Here," says the writer of the Memoirs, " terminates the list 
 of Mr. Romney's exhibited pictures." We shall find other oppor- 
 tunities of speaking of this refusal to exhibit, as illustrating a leading 
 characteristic of his, the quality of the recluse who shuns all contact, 
 and certainly all competition, with his fellows. At present we may 
 pause for a moment to touch upon the life of Romney during 
 these years. They include two changes of residence in London, 
 and two visits to the North, during each of which, coming as 
 he did with all the prestige of London success upon him, he 
 painted at Lancaster a number of those portraits, at five or seven 
 guineas apiece, of which many still remain in their original homes. 
 His first London move was of some importance. His fi-iend, 
 " Mr. Greene of Gray's Inn," persuaded him to settle in that 
 place, wisely divining that many a lawyer, fi-om solicitors to judges, 
 would welcome the clever portrait - painter whose likenesses 
 were so excellent and whose prices so low. His forecast was 
 
 29 
 
George Romney. 
 
 justified, and no less a person than Sir Joseph Yates, a Judge 
 of the King's Bench, came to sit to his brother Lancastrian. 
 His example was quickly followed, and for a time Romney, whose 
 prices for a three-quarter portrait were seven guineas in 1767 
 and ten guineas three years later, was busily occupied in the 
 Inn ; for men who could not afford the fashionable Reynolds, 
 who since 1764 had the effrontery to charge thirty-five guineas, 
 were glad to go to the younger painter. It was at this date that 
 he first made the acquaintance of Richard Cumberland, and 
 painted his portrait, a picture still in possession of the family. 
 This was the first of many pictures of the Cumberland family, 
 of which one, that of the beautifiil Elizabeth, who married Lord 
 Edward Bentinck, has always ranked among the painter's master- 
 pieces. That was painted five years later, when Romney had 
 attained his maturity ; but with regard to Richard Cumberland's 
 picture he had to undergo the sharp criticism of Garrick, who seems, 
 on the few occasions when he entered Romney's studio, to have 
 adopted towards him a patronising air that he would never have 
 dreamed of assuming towards Reynolds. Another great light 
 of the theatrical profession shone upon Romney during these 
 years — Mrs. Yates, of whom, in 1771, he exhibited the well- 
 known full-length in the character of the Tragic Muse. It was 
 engraved at the time, and we have lately seen it more than 
 once in London ; a picture with remarkable qualities, but stiff 
 and somewhat forbidding, and not to be named in the same 
 breath with Sir Joshua's " Mrs. Siddons." The author of the 
 Memoirs is right to deprecate any such comparison, for when 
 Romney painted Mrs. Yates his visit to Rome had not yet enriched 
 his eye and freed his brush, whereas Sir Joshua was at the zenith 
 of his powers when the Queen of Tragedy took her place upon 
 his throne.

The Visit to Italy. 
 
 III. THE VISIT TO ITALY. 
 
 At last, in 1772, the time seemed to have come when 
 Romney might reaUse his dream of a visit to Italy. It was a 
 serious step to take, and one that implied not only the best sort 
 of ambition but real courage ; for he was giving up a certain 
 income of twelve hundred pounds a year — a large sum in those 
 days ; and, in a profession where so much depends upon caprice, 
 there was no certainty that on his return from Rome fashion 
 and fortune would smile upon him again. But he was determined 
 to take the plunge. His son, in the Memoirs, dwells at length 
 upon the greatness of the step ; on the fact that " to reach the 
 head of his profession was Mr. Romney's great incentive ; every- 
 thing yielded to this feeling, was even sacrificed to it ; and at 
 that time perhaps it might justly have been said (as in fact it 
 was by some) that his ambition got the better of his prudence." 
 The curious thing is that here, as throughout the book, John 
 Romney makes no reference to the real reason which might 
 lead us to regard Romney's journey as imprudent — the existence 
 of a wife and growing boy in the North. He says nothing 
 about the provision made for them by the painter, except that 
 " he left two hundred pounds in the hands of his banker," a 
 poor pittance wherewith to keep a family for over two years, if 
 that was all. However, both now and at all other times, minute 
 enquiries into Romney's budget must be vain. We know 
 pretty well what he earned at various times of his life, and 
 there is MS. evidence of various excellent investments that 
 Greene made for him after 1780 ; but there is little evidence 
 as to how he spent his earnings, or as to the share of them 
 that the wife at Kendal was allowed to enjoy. The question, 
 with those that bear upon Romney's relation to his family, must 
 
 31 
 
George Romney. 
 
 be left unsolved. A curious light indeed is thrown upon his 
 family relationships by the following letter, till now unpublished, 
 which has been placed in the writer's hands by Mr. Fairfax 
 Murray, who acquired it at the Romney sale. It is written to the 
 painter's father, and it is interesting as showing (i) that the old 
 man was still alive, and was looking after his daughter-in-law and 
 grandson ; (2) that Romney, though he never saw his wife, 
 could still call her by her pet name \ (3) that when he wrote 
 to his relations his spelling was even worse — or shall we say 
 more phonetic ? — than usual. 
 
 Rome, June 20, 1773. 
 
 " I do not doubt but you think my leaving England a very imprudent thing. 
 I assure you 1 shall never take any steps but what I think will tend to 
 
 advance either my reputation or fortune take care of Molly and John and 
 
 keep him at a good lattin scool and desire him to endeavour to retain the butys and 
 knowledge the lattin authors ar filled with as well as the language and I will write from 
 time to time to him to acquaint you what he is to do." 
 
 Romney had intended to start for Rome in the autumn 
 of 1772, but he was laid up by a somewhat serious illness, 
 and afterwards by what his son calls " influx of business," 
 so that he did not take his departure till March 20, 1773. 
 His companion was a new friend, Ozias Humphry, the minia- 
 ture painter, whom he had probably met in that gallery of 
 casts which the Duke of Richmond had set up in Spring Gardens. 
 The two men did not go without high credentials ; H.R.H. the 
 Duke of Gloucester gave Romney an introduction to the Pope 
 (Clement XIV., "suppressor" of the Jesuits, and founder of 
 the Museo Clementino), and the Duke of Richmond interested 
 himself in his favour, while the Duke of Dorset, who kindly 
 received the two artists at Knole on their way to Dover, gave 
 introductions to Humphry. It is curious and a little painful 
 to notice that Romney's friendship with Humphry was not 
 uninterrupted, nor is it on record that he ever became really 
 intimate with any artist, except in his later years, with some 
 
 32

The Visit to Italy. 
 
 of his own pupils, and with Flaxman. " Humphry," says the 
 author of the Memoirs, was " a gossip and an idler " ; the 
 truth apparently being that he liked to associate with his 
 kind, and that, when he arrived in Rome, he sought out 
 the numerous British artists who were working there, and 
 tried to live more sociably with them than the austere Romney 
 could bear. Yet all the accounts seem to show that Ozias 
 Humphry, besides being a charming artist, was a strenuous and 
 industrious one. He went to Rome because he aspired to higher 
 things than miniature painting. He worked in the Villa Medici, 
 and learned to paint life-size portraits in oil, so that when he 
 returned to London and took a studio in Newman Street, he 
 became for the time a prominent portrait-painter, exhibited in 
 the Academy of 1779, and was elected an Associate. Afterwards 
 he worked so hard at his miniatures as to injure his sight, so that 
 he took to crayon painting, as what we now call pastel used to 
 be named, and produced many charming things, too little valued 
 at the present day. With his subsequent career, with his journeys 
 to India, his work for the Duke of Dorset, and his ultimate 
 blindness, we are not here concerned ; nor has this digression 
 any other object than to show that Romney, in all his social 
 relations, was difficult, and that it was characteristic of him that 
 he did not care to retain the friendship of an agreeable man and 
 charming artist who could never have been a serious rival. 
 
 We are lucky in possessing a long record of Romney's 
 journey, in the form of letters, apparently written to his friend 
 Thomas Greene, and printed in the Memoirs. They carry him 
 no further than Genoa, and they contain, of course, little that 
 even then was new about the cities and scenery through which 
 he passed. Moreover, every subsequent writer on Romney has 
 referred to them or quoted them, so that we may pass them rapidly 
 by. Let us only notice that he repeats with increased energy his 
 old complaints about the " degeneracy of French taste," and about 
 the French indifference towards the great Italian masters, " whose 
 
 33 F

 works are too dark, gloomy and heavy." " With the French," he 
 says, *' everything must be light, false, fantastical, and full of flutter 
 and extravagance— like themselves." But the painter enjoys France 
 immensely — " the finest country I ever savi^," full of corn-fields 
 and vineyards, " the finest champaign you can imagine." " Lyons 
 is full of liveliness and gaiety ;" its women are " of a middle 
 size, with all their forms round and full-grown ; full-chested, 
 and their necks as round as the Venus de Medici." Nimes and 
 Avignon are beautiful ; the dress of " the lower order of women 
 is delightful ; their faces are much browner than at Paris, which 
 makes their linen look very white, and gives the whole head a 
 very beautiful effect." At Marseilles again he divides his interest 
 between the " fine prospect " and the women ; the latter are 
 " more beautiful than at Paris, and dress very gay, with less paint." 
 And so he proceeds along the Riviera, stopping at Frejus, 
 ascending " a very high mountain, Esterelles," and passing to 
 Antibes, whence he has " a view of Nice, and of the Apennine 
 mountains rising behind it ; and of other mountains joining, 
 which run all along the shore, and rise one behind another till 
 they are lost in the clouds." We, who only know the Nice 
 of to-day, the metropolis of a crowded and vulgarised Riviera, 
 may feel a certain envy as we read that " the town is small, 
 and its situation pleasant, enjoying a fine temperate air." How 
 many Battles of Flowers would we give in exchange for what 
 Romney saw in unspoilt Nizza ? " The day we arrived at 
 Nice being Sunday and the 2nd of May, we saw maypoles erected 
 in several streets, and in the evening rings of women, about 
 fifteen or twenty in each, hand in hand, dancing round them, 
 like The Hours of Guido, and singing beautiful airs. Their 
 movements were sometimes slow, and increased gradually till 
 they became very quick, then slow again ; they were perfectly in 
 time with one another, and moved with the greatest vivacity 
 and spirit. The air of antiquity it carried along with it had 
 the most enchanting effect. I thought myself removed two 
 
 34

 thousand years back, and a spectator of scenes in Arcadia." 
 To the student of Romney the interest of such passages Hes in 
 the proof they give that by this time the humble, half-educated 
 North-countryman has become not only an artist, but in all matters 
 that touched his art a cultivated man. We know that he hated 
 writing, but, when the spirit moved him, write he could. 
 
 When he arrives at Genoa, he turns from nature to art, from 
 the dances of women to palaces and pictures. Naturally he is 
 struck with " the most magnificent appearance " of the Strada 
 Nuova and the Strada Balbi, and the " holiday or gala appearance " 
 of the painted fronts of the buildings. He spends many days in 
 exploring the houses and churches; admires Vandyck, Paul Veronese, 
 and Correggio ; but, strange to say, he speaks without great enthu- 
 siasm of Vandyck, whose Genoese pictures we should have expected 
 him, as a portrait-painter, to place high above all portraits that 
 he could have seen in England. The only two pictures by the 
 master that rouse him to speak in superlatives are the equestrian 
 portrait of the young Marchese and the full-length portrait of his 
 wife in the Brignole-Sala Palace — the latter " very slight but 
 charmingly coloured ; it has a transparency throughout, and a glow 
 in the face, that I have never seen before in Vandyck." And 
 he notes, with true painter's observation, the " two beginnings of 
 them in oil-colour, upon paper pasted on canvas ; they are very 
 thin and transparent, and seem to be painted with nothing but 
 vermilion, brown ochre, white, and black." And so, after a 
 few more notes on the pictures,* and a final word on the elegance, 
 
 * Mr. Fairfax Murray has favoured me with the following transcript (literal even to 
 the queer spelling) of a note in Romney's handwriting from an MS. book purchased by 
 him at the sale in 1894. It is extremely interesting as being almost the only extant 
 example of detailed technical criticism by Romney, as contrasted with the many notes on 
 pictures that we have from the hand of Reynolds. Mr. Jenkins, it should be said, was a 
 well-known banker, antiquary, and connoisseur living in Rome, and I possess several 
 bills of exchange in his handwriting, drawn by Romney on Thomas Greene.

 the easy action, and the good walking, of the Genoese women, 
 and their costumes, " which produce the most elegant flowing 
 lines imaginable," our painter leaves Genoa, and his own record 
 of his journey ends. He passes by sea to Leghorn, not untroubled 
 by tempests ; and thence by Pisa and Florence he comes to 
 Rome, arriving on June i8. 
 
 All through the eighteenth century, and for many years before 
 and after, Rome was the Mecca of the artists of Europe. Indeed, 
 in the middle of the seventeenth century Poussin and Claude had 
 found it out for themselves, and Dutch artists made their way there 
 in crowds, to return, alas ! Italianised and spoilt. Then, in 1664, 
 came Colbert's great foundation, establishing a system, which still 
 holds in its essentials, for sending young French artists to Rome at 
 the expense of the State, there to pass some years of study. Poussin 
 was to have been appointed first Director of the School, but died 
 before the appointment could be made. In spite of this loss the 
 institution took root and flourished, and throughout the eighteenth 
 century many of the great names of French art, and especially 
 those of Boucher, of Fragonard, and of David, are associated with 
 the history of the French Academy in Rome. Moreover, French 
 artists were beating the Italians themselves in public competitions 
 for monuments in Rome ; Theodon, in the seventeenth century, 
 
 degrations are purpleish or blueish and seem to be a medium between vermilian and 
 yellow okre painted exceedingly thin or glaised, there is an exceeding tenderness between 
 the flesh and hair which is between a flaxen and a yellow, and the tint that unites is 
 purpleish mixed with the hair colour — the deeper shadows are vermilian and black very 
 thin, with sometimes a little yellow okre, and some places black and some kind of brown 
 or yellow — the whole has great breadth, and the lights in some places have a little 
 ultramarine, in particular about the nose — some of the shadows are the colour of lake and 
 mummy — the womans face is painted with a darker red and ultramarine or blue black 
 with the same principal of tintes with a drapery which a drapery which goes over the head 
 composed of black and white, a little brown okre broke with the tints that are about it — 
 red and size ground of a gray cloud. 
 
 " The drapery is glased with something like spaultine or red — the other part of the 
 ground is umber and black on a light ground — in the womans face the colour that 
 sparkles through is of a reddish hue." 
 
 By " spaultine " Romney may possibly mean asphaltum.

 defeated the great Bernini ; Natoire and Pigalle won first prizes in 
 the Academy of St. Luke.* More conspicuous than any French- 
 man was the German Raphael Mengs, who made his fame in Rome 
 and carried it to Madrid, being accepted throughout Europe as the 
 chief authority on the principles of art ; and though there was no 
 English organisation of artists, and no single Englishman attained 
 any great position in the city, for English painters to journey to 
 Rome and to study there for a year or two was held to be essential, 
 if a man was even to approach the first rank. Allan Ramsay 
 arrived there in 1776, Richard Wilson in 1749, and the young 
 Joshua Reynolds about the same time. Gavin Hamilton, painter 
 and collector, lived in Rome for the greater part of his life, nor 
 could his succession to a good Scotch estate tempt him away for 
 more than a few years. He is known to history as having formed 
 the Lansdowne collection of Antiques ; but to students of Romney 
 his chief title to remembrance is that it was he who, in 1786, 
 escorted Emma Hart and her mother on their memorable journey 
 to Naples. Wright, of Derby, was there with Romney ; and firom 
 a letter of Bankes, the sculptor, we learn that in 1773 a great deal 
 of portrait work was being done in the English colony, and that it 
 chiefly fell to Philip Wickstead — " Little Wickstead," as Bankes 
 calls him — and to Barron, who " has the most of Sir Joshua's fine 
 manner of any of his pupils." This, it will be noticed, was the 
 very year of Romney's arrival. 
 
 If we compare the brief records that John Romney has 
 preserved of his father's life and work in Rome with the memoranda 
 left by the young Joshua Reynolds of his sojourn there twenty- 
 three years before, we are struck by the contrast of temperaments 
 that they reveal. Then, as always, Reynolds showed himself as the 
 child of society, and Romney as the recluse. Evidently the 
 manners of Reynolds were already " gentle, complying, and 
 bland"; while Romney was reserved, timid, 2i.n6. farouche. So we

 have indications that Reynolds went everywhere, and that he not 
 only worked hard in the churches and galleries, but made portraits 
 of several distinguished English travellers and " caricatures " of 
 about forty, most of them in the celebrated parody of Raphael's 
 " School of Athens " which Reynolds painted, peopling it with 
 English travellers instead of Greek philosophers. But we have no 
 record of any portrait of an Englishman painted by Romney in 
 Rome ; we hear of a few Roman heads ; of " the Wood Nymph," 
 painted from a living model who sat for the nude — a rare thing 
 in those days ; and of another picture, which the author of the 
 Memoirs feels it his duty to " regard rather as an object of censure 
 than of praise." In England, a hundred years ago, clerical 
 prudery was not shocked at the " Wood Nymph," but was 
 seriously disturbed at "Providence brooding over Chaos." Raphael 
 and Michael Angelo, and other Catholics, might paint the 
 Almighty and be blameless ; but such a thing was not to be 
 tolerated in a British Protestant ; and so we learn, not without 
 pitying amusement, that when the Lord George Gordon riots came, 
 in 1780, Romney hurried this picture out of his painting room 
 in Cavendish Square into the back premises, lest he should be 
 denounced as a Papist and have the house burnt about his ears. 
 Moreover, when the pictures and sketches were sold, in 1807, the 
 Reverend John boldly changed the name of this one to " Jupiter 
 Pluvius" ! Assuredly we have moved some distance since then 
 towards freedom of the mind. 
 
 It is probable that most of the English artists, while studying 
 in Rome, it they did not paint portraits, mainly supported 
 themselves by making copies of old masters for their rich 
 countrymen doing the Grand Tour. Reynolds has left it on 
 record that he himself did not do much in this way: "whilst 
 I was in Rome," he says in a letter to Barry, " I was very 
 little employed by them, and that little I always considered as 
 so much time lost." It does not appear that Romney was 
 " employed " in this way, but it is certain that he made many

 copies from Raphael, and some sketches after Michael Angelo. 
 The letter to the Pope from the Duke of Gloucester, which 
 we have mentioned already, obtained for him the privilege of 
 raising scaffoldings in the Stanze of the Vatican, where he 
 copied many details, including the famous group of portraits 
 in the " School of Athens." Through his friend Cumberland, 
 too, whose long letter is printed in the Memoirs, we hear of a 
 request from Lord Warwick that he would give him a first 
 choice of any copies he might bring home, and also that he 
 would buy him a few genuine pictures by the old painters. 
 But Romney had not the gifts of the connoisseur or the collector; 
 he bought nothing in Rome, and at Florence, a little later, he 
 did not venture to come into competition with Lord Cowper's 
 agent, the painter Zoifany, who had the true flair; and as a 
 consequence the two famous early Madonnas of Raphael are 
 now at Panshanger, and not at Warwick Castle. But, though 
 he saw little of his countrymen, painted no portraits, and did 
 not dabble in old masters, there is no doubt that his nineteen 
 months in Rome were months not only of strenuous labour, 
 but of high intellectual delight. We are fortunate in possessing, 
 among the few letters of his that survive, a long one, addressed 
 soon after he left Rome, to a fellow student of the name of 
 Carter,* which is printed in the Memoirs. It is written fi-om 
 Venice, and describes his journey there. At first, he says, he 
 was " benummed " and scarcely felt regret ; but next day, at 
 Viterbo, 
 
 " my affections began to revive, and something hung about my heart that felt like 
 sorrow, which continued to increase till I reached the summit of Mount Viterbo. I 
 arrived there about half an hour before the vetturino, indeed, I had hastened to do so, as 
 well knowing it would be the last time I should see Rome. I looked with an eager eye 
 to discover that divine place. It was enveloped in a bright vapour, as if the rays of 
 
 * George Carter, a painter of humble origin and of no great talent, was working in 
 Rome at this time, and in 1775 sent thence to the Royal Academy a picture of "A 
 Wounded Hussar." Romney's advice to him does not appear to have borne much fruit. 
 The letter here quoted appears in the Memoirs, p. 116.

George Romney. 
 
 Apollo shone there with greater lustre than at any other spot upon this terrestrial globe. 
 My mind visited every place, and thought of everything that had given It pleasure; and 
 I continued some time in that state, with a thousand tender sensations playing about my 
 heart, till I was almost lost in sorrow — think, O think, my dear Carter, where you are, 
 and do not let the sweets of that divine place escape from you ; do not leave a stone 
 unturned that is classical ; do not leave a form unsought out that is beautiful, nor even a 
 line of the great Michael Angelo." 
 
 There is nothing in Reynolds's Italian notes so personal and so 
 self-revealing as this passage. Rome had truly cast her spell 
 upon Romney, and the man who could read neither Latin nor 
 Greek had learnt to love all that was classical through the 
 teaching of his eyes alone. We find him expressing no such 
 rapture over any of the other Italian cities, though he greatly 
 enjoyed Parma, and spent some weeks of hard and profitable 
 work in Venice. By this time, it will be remembered. Sir Joshua 
 Reynolds had been for some years President of the Royal 
 Academy, and had delivered several of his memorable Discourses; 
 and it is interesting to note that Romney, in going to Parma 
 and Bologna, was careful to look for the pictures mentioned 
 in those Discourses by Sir Joshua. He says so in a letter to 
 Greene firom Bologna, and proceeds to speak with much good 
 sense of the Carracci and other painters of the place. He notes 
 that they were already " very dark," but he thinks that " the 
 great strength, breadth, and bold manner of working, which 
 are peculiar to that school, are exceedingly well adapted to some 
 kinds of historical paintings." One can scarcely expect an 
 eighteenth -century painter to say less ; it is a testimony to 
 Romney's good sense that he did not say more. At Venice, 
 where he was under the wing of Mr. Udney, the English banker 
 — a connoisseur whose collection of pictures and drawings by old 
 masters was justly celebrated * — Romney spent a fruitful time. 
 Titian, as was natural, made a great impression upon him, 
 though not so great as he had made upon Vandyck a hundred 
 and fifty years before, or upon Reynolds in 1752. He is glad 
 
 * An account of his auction is given in Buchanan's " Memoirs of Painting." 
 
 40 
 
The Visit to Italy. 
 
 he did not copy the master in Rome or Florence, " being 
 thoroughly convinced that a just idea of Titian can never be 
 formed out of Venice." But he finds that nearly all Titian's 
 pictures are " dark and in bad condition," a judgment in which 
 he was to a certain extent mistaken, for the darkness often only 
 meant removable dirt. A curious proof of this may be gathered 
 from a comparison of Reynolds's note on the famous Titian in 
 the Frari with what Romney himself says of it twenty-five 
 years later. " This picture is very dark," says Reynolds ; but 
 Romney writes : "I have been hard at work some time past in 
 making studies from a picture of Titian [the Pesaro Madonna] 
 in the Friary. It represents a Madonna and Child, and St. Peter 
 upon a flight of steps, and below, a group of portraits ; it is in 
 Titian's best manner, and as it has been cleaned lately, and is 
 in good preservation, it is in a favourable state to study fi^om." 
 This picture, the " St. John Baptist," and the " Presentation of 
 the Virgin," are, says Romney, " the only things I have yet seen 
 that one can sit down to study from; his other works are either 
 exceedingly dirty, damaged, or placed out of reach." Among 
 the dirty or damaged pictures he doubtless includes the now 
 world-famous "Assumption," which we know to have been at 
 that time " very dark fi^om the effects ot time and the smoke 
 of candles " * ; the restoration which it underwent in 1 8 1 7 did 
 harm as well as good, but it at least enabled Schiavoni to make 
 the line engraving which placed it, in popular estimation, among 
 the masterpieces of the world. 
 
 Two more points relating to Romney's Venetian visit remain 
 to be noticed : his friendship with Edward Wortley Montagu, the 
 eccentric traveller, of whom he painted the capital portrait now 
 at Warwick Castle, and who, on his side, gave his painter-fi-iend 
 the true Turkish recipe for making coffee ; and secondly, the 
 formal request from the Incorporated (and newly pacified) Society

 of Artists of Great Britain, that he should become a member and 
 take part in the exhibitions. It is interesting to note the names 
 appended to the letter — John Mortimer (President for the year), 
 S. Gilpin, John Dixon, F. Wheatley, the painter of portraits and 
 domestic scenes, John Smart, the miniaturist, and William Marlow, 
 whose foreign landscapes and town views have a charm of colour 
 which makes them still an object for collectors to search for. It 
 is still more interesting to observe that three of these men, 
 identified for the moment with the opposition establishment, 
 presently went over and became Royal Academicians. Occurrences 
 of this kind are not unknown in our own day. 
 
 Romney left Venice after a stay of perhaps two months, 
 spent two or three weeks at Parma, studying Correggio, and made 
 his way home via Turin, Lyons and Paris, arriving in London on 
 July I, 1775. His French passport, signed by the King himself, 
 and countersigned by the Minister De Vergennes, granted to " Le 
 S. Romney, allant en Angleterre," passed into the present writer's 
 hands at Miss Romney 's sale, in 1894. 
 
 IV. IN CAVENDISH SQUARE. 
 
 For six months after his return Romney lived among his old 
 friends in Gray's Inn, and there is no record of whatever work 
 he may have done. His son suggests that it amounted to little 
 more than " a few portraits of particular friends, some studies 
 and half-finished fancy pieces ; " for at the time when he was 
 meditating a decisive step he had probably neither the leisure nor 
 the nerves to attack any very serious work. One interesting 
 episode emerges from the scanty records of those days. A few 
 weeks after his return to London, Romney received from Richard 
 Cumberland, writing on behalf of Lord Warwick, a proposal that

In Cavendish Square. 
 
 he should come down to Warwick Castle, and there paint a 
 companion to the " very respectable portraits, chiefly by Vandyke," 
 collected by the Earl. " He wishes you," says Cumberland, " to 
 try your strength in the same bow with the best masters of 
 portrait-painting ; but as he would not fetter your fancy to any 
 fixt subject, he leaves the object to your own chusing and all 
 circumstances about it, only it must be female, as I believe it 
 is to companion with Charles the First's Queen by Vandyke. 
 It is his wish that you would work upon this picture at the 
 Castle, and he proposes to give you possession of an entire tower, 
 where you will have choice of light, a most delightful workshop, 
 bedroom, study, books, and closets for your tools, with all 
 peace and content that solitude and serenity can give you." The 
 painter had the strength of mind to decline this fascinating offer, 
 for he felt that nothing must stand between him and the critical 
 change that he was about to make in his life — his establishment 
 in a large house and studio in the West End of London, and his 
 definitive appearance as a portrait-painter ambitious of the first 
 rank. It is pleasant to know that this refusal caused no breach 
 with Lord Warwick, for the " Lady Warwick and Children," 
 one of the best and most celebrated of Romney's groups, was 
 painted some time afterwards, in this very studio. 
 
 Francis Cotes, R.A., commonly called by his contemporaries 
 " the crayon-painter," but better known to us as the painter of 
 portraits in oil which have a close analogy to the early works 
 of Sir Joshua, had died in 1770, at the early age of forty-five ; 
 and his excellent house. No. 32, Cavendish Square, still remained 
 untenanted. Doubtless this was on account of the large painting 
 room which he had built ;* for in those days there were but 
 three or four painters in London who could have used it, and 
 its presence must have made the house unsuitable for ordinary

 tenants. Romnt7 may well have paused before taking such a 
 dwelling, for which his simple tastes and his shrinking from society 
 might seem to have disqualified him ; and it is possible that one 
 reason why the prospect " presented itself to his imagination in 
 so formidable a light"* may have been the doubt in his own 
 mind whether, with a house like that, he would not be bound 
 to bring his wife up from Kendal to share it with him. No hint 
 of this, however, is given in the Memoirs, and both John Romney 
 and Hayley state that the only cause of his hesitation, which was 
 extreme, was the painful " apprehension of not finding business 
 enough to support him." The experience of his first ten years 
 in London, recorded in that significant bill of Greene's which 
 we have quoted above, sufficiently explains this nervousness, and 
 for the first month or two of 1776 the painter's fears seemed 
 justified. For some weeks nobody came ; and he was beginning 
 to despair when, according to his son, he was saved by his old 
 acquaintance, the Duke of Richmond, that patron of the arts in 
 whose gallery of casts in Spring Gardens Romney and many 
 another artist had passed fruitful hours of study. John Romney 
 tells us that the picture, which " represented His Grace en profile^ 
 reading," was universally liked ; that the Duke's friends ordered 
 many copies — indeed many versions of the picture are known, as 
 our Catalogue shows — and that in fact this successful portrait of 
 so prominent a man fairly launched the painter on his career. 
 
 And here the Diaries for the first time come to our help, and 
 we can prove from them that Romney's success was as instantaneous 
 as we know it to have been permanent. These records open on 
 March 27, 1776, perhaps two months after the Duke of Richmond 
 broke in upon the painter's discouragement and solitude ; and 
 forthwith we have, without a break, two or three sitters every 
 week-day, and now and then — we know how Dr. Johnson dis- 
 approved of this in Sir Joshua's case — " a lady at i " on Sundays.

MISS VERNON AS "HEBE. 
 
 By GEORGE ROMNEY. 
 
 In the Collection of 
 THE EARL OF WARWICK. 
 
In Cavendish Square. 
 
 From the end of March to July i g this regularity continues ; then 
 there is a break, a true long vacation, till November 6, when the 
 autumn season is opened by the same Duke of Richmond. 
 November is rather slack, with only one sitter a day ; December is 
 a little busier; and with the opening of 1777 there comes the full 
 tide of business, making Romney's studio as incessantly occupied 
 as Sir Joshua's, and starting him on that career of production 
 which is almost unintelligible to the modern portrait painter, who 
 thinks that he has accomplished wonders if he achieves thirty 
 portraits in a year. It is noteworthy also that henceforth Romney 
 has his full share of sitters from the great world, and that even 
 Reynolds's own lists are scarcely more copiously furnished with 
 lords and ladies. We have quantity and quality too — or at least 
 The Quality, as Miss Burney's contemporaries called the titled folks 
 and their kindred. Let us glance at these earliest of Romney's 
 sitters in the new house, and we shall see how, in themselves or in 
 their relationships, they touched the many centres of activity in the 
 life of that day. Lord Parker's name comes first ; at nine o'clock 
 on the morning of March 27 he is sitting to the painter, and he 
 sits again twice in April, twice in May, and once in June, as well 
 as for a second portrait some years later. We know they were 
 paid for, and we may therefore assume that they were delivered, 
 but — alas for the perishableness of pictures ! — neither of them is 
 known to the present Lord Macclesfield's family. The next is 
 a lady, bearing a name that is closely bound up with Romney's 
 art. Miss Vernon. She was one of three lovely sisters, all of whom 
 sat to the painter ; perhaps it was this one who, on July 9 in this 
 year, became the second wife of Lord Warwick, or it may have 
 been Catharine, the second daughter, who sat for the " Hebe," 
 which Lord Warwick bought; or it may have been the most 
 beautiful of all, Lucy, fi-om whom, shortly before her death in 
 1783, Romney painted "The Sempstress," the exquisite picture 
 from which young Cheesman made his very popular print. The 
 third brings us almost into touch with Sir Joshua, for it is 
 
 45 
 
George Romney. 
 
 the Lady Betty Compton whose picture, under her married name 
 of Lady George Cavendish, painted by Reynolds, was one of the 
 ornaments of the Academy in 1782. It is a painful coincidence 
 that her husband was the very Lord George Cavendish who 
 twenty-six years later refused a place for a monument to Romney 
 in Dalton Church. Presently we come to " Miss Southby," 
 sister-in-law of the Bishop of Worcester, the Bishop himself 
 following her three days later ; to young Mr. Methuen, whose 
 charming portrait is still in the possession of his descendant ; and 
 to " the Indian," i.e.^ the celebrated Mohawk chief Thayedanegea, 
 or Joseph Brant, who had come to England on a mission from the 
 confederate chiefs, and whose colour and costume were doubtless 
 an attraction to the painter. 
 
 In the first days of April we have altogether more important 
 entries, the one from the private, the other from the public point 
 of view. On April i we have the first entry of " Mr. Long," a 
 very famous surgeon, from this time forward a close friend of 
 Romney, and a buyer of his works. Collectors well remember the 
 sale in 1890, which contained so many Romneys that had been 
 in the possession of the Long family for a hundred years.* On 
 April 2, the simple entry "Mr. Burke" gives us a glimpse, and 
 only a glimpse, of the great statesman whom, in the weeks just 
 before the Diary was begun, Romney had been painting for the 
 Duke of Richmond. The picture itself seems to have disappeared, 
 but Jones, the engraver, made a print after it in 1790, at the time 
 when the " Reflections on the French Revolution " were investing 
 Burke with a popularity that he had never enjoyed before. 
 Burke had sat to Sir Joshua several times since 1767, and, as we 
 all know, he was one of the most constant members of Sir Joshua's 
 and Johnson's circle. But yet he sat to Romney, whom therefore 
 we may suppose that Sir Joshua did not yet regard as a rival. 
 
 It is curious that three days after Burke has sat, we have

 friends. " Life of Romney," p. 71.

 an entry, "Mr. Pitt at 12." This however is not the great 
 man, but Thomas Pitt, his first cousin, afterwards Lord Camelford. 
 The picture, a half-length in excellent preservation, is in the 
 possession of Mr. Fortescue at Dropmore. The statesman himself 
 did not sit to Romney till 1784. In describing this year 1776, 
 John Romney tells a pathetic story of an illness caught by his 
 father on the night of Garrick's benefit, June i o ; how his fi-iend 
 Cumberland sent for the great doctor. Sir Richard Jebb, " who, 
 as soon as he saw his patient, instantly ordered him to drink a 
 bottle of Madeira. He afterwards told Mr. Cumberland that 
 Mr. Romney's life could not have been saved if advice had been 
 delayed half an hour longer." The effect of the heroic dose 
 of Madeira must have been swift and decisive, for Romney had 
 sitters on June 11 and 13, and many more throughout the 
 month. But his work in 1776 was little in comparison with 
 what it came to be in the following year, when it rose at once 
 to the maximum, from which it never again declined till the 
 painter himself chose that it should do so. The reader who 
 turns to the literal transcript of the Diaries, printed at the end 
 of this volume, can see with his own eyes what the work amounted 
 to ; an amazing mass, which fills us with wonder that any painter 
 could have dealt with it unassisted, and an amazing proof, 
 moreover, of the eagerness with which London then welcomed 
 a new portrait-painter, especially one who could paint charming 
 portraits at prices that brought them within reach of the most 
 moderate fortunes. This will be a convenient place to state 
 the prices that Romney charged at different dates after his return 
 from Italy for the ordinary portrait on a three-quarter canvas 
 (/.£. one measuring 30 inches by 25): —

 The writer of the Memoirs adds — and his figures are con- 
 firmed by the MS. account books — that " The price of a half 
 length was double that of a three-quarters, and a whole-length 
 double that of a half-length, and their intermediate sizes charged 
 accordingly." The usual price therefore that Romney received 
 for a half-length on a 50 x ^o canvas was from 36 to 50 guineas 
 — less than one-hundredth part of what good examples will sell 
 for at the present day ; while the utmost he ever received for 
 a full-length would be a hundred and fifty. " His prices were 
 always too low," writes his son ; and we may agree with him 
 that it would have been better not only for Romney's reputation 
 and banking account, but for his health and spirits, if he had 
 doubled his prices and halved his work.* 
 
 By the end of his first year in Cavendish Square Romney 
 had become the fashion, and, what is more, the extant pictures 
 of that date show that he had almost, if not quite, reached the 
 maturity of his art. The months of hard work in Italy had 
 produced their effect ; the painter had shaken off the faults of 
 his early training, or want of training, and had come back a 
 master of design and colour. We need not suppose that he 
 consciously put before himself the ideal of his German con- 
 temporary Raphael Mengs, at that time perhaps the painter of

 In later years some people thought Sir Joshua's prices " outrageous," and Horace 
 Walpole complained of the 300 guineas he had to pay for that masterpiece, " The Three 
 Ladies Waldegrave." 
 
 Gainsborough's prices cannot be so precisely ascertained, but, having begun at a low 
 rate, we find him at Bath, rising first to forty, and then to sixty guineas for a half- 
 length, and 100 for a full-length. Thus Romney was at this date by far the cheapest of 
 
 the three.

 highest authority on the continent of Europe, who aimed at 
 combining " the expression of Raphael, the colour of Titian, the 
 chiaroscuro of Correggio, and the drawing of the ancient 
 sculptors." Great painters are not formed by such conscious 
 eclecticism. But observation, and study, and practice had done 
 their work, and the stiff and formal painter of Lancaster and 
 Great Newport Street had, through his labours in Italy, learnt to 
 paint with freedom and charm. This the London public 
 recognized at once, and our list for the year 1777 shows no 
 less than six hundred sittings, which ought to represent from 
 a hundred and twenty to a hundred and fifty finished portraits. 
 A glance at the names of some of the sitters is doubly interesting, 
 for, on the one hand, it shows Romney in relation to the world 
 of his time, and, on the other, the pictures (which can be 
 identified) prove what we have been saying — that he had already 
 formed his ultimate style, and had become the Romney that 
 we know. On January 13, Lady Warwick gives her first sitting 
 for the charming picture of which the mezzotint by J. R. Smith 
 is now one of the treasures of the collector ; and it is pleasant 
 to note a fact which shows that Richard Cumberland had been 
 mindful of his friend's interests, and had not allowed Lord 
 Warwick to forget him. The next day comes Lady Susan 
 Lennox, and her parents, the Duke and Duchess of Richmond, 
 a short time after. Then, on January 31, is the first sitting 
 of Lady Derby for the picture which now belongs to Sir Charles 
 Tennant, and which has often been exhibited, and still more 
 often reproduced. John Dean made a mezzotint of it in 1780, 
 and Mr. Every has done the same for our own generation, and 
 we may be sure that both engravers delighted in the work, 
 so attractive is the face, so admirable in its smoothness and 
 sheen the white satin of the dress. The various sittings given 
 by " Lady Albermarle at 11" (so Romney constantly spells the 
 name), proves that Reynolds had no monopoly of his friends 
 the Keppels. "Lord Gower at i past 12" on January 16 is 
 
 49 H

 the first sitting given by a distinguished man, who had been 
 Lord President in 1767 and had obtained the Garter in 1771 ; 
 it is for the fine full-length in the Duke of Sutherland's 
 possession. But it is still more interesting to notice that already 
 in November of last year, and in March of the year now under 
 discussion (1777), Lord Gower's children are sitting for the 
 splendid group now at Trentham, the young children dancing, 
 while their elder step-sister plays the tambourine. No further 
 proof is needed of the fact that the visit to Italy had acted upon 
 Romney's talent like a charm, and that having gone out as a 
 student with much both to learn and unlearn, he had returned 
 in less than two years a finished artist. 
 
 The Diaries abound from henceforth in names well known, 
 whether to the readers of contemporary Memoirs or to the student 
 of Romney. The latter will be interested to find in this present 
 year such names as " Mrs. Stables," who, with her children, formed 
 a lovely group which, engraved and popular at the time, went into 
 retirement for a century, emerged at the Old Masters Exhibition 
 in i8go, and was promptly bought at a vast price by one of the 
 Rothschilds. He will notice also the name ot the still more 
 beautiful " Lady Bell Hamilton," who, standing in her black 
 dress, with a book in her left hand, and resting her right elbow 
 on a pedestal, forms the subject of what is probably the most 
 exquisitely graceful of all Romney's full-length portraits. Col- 
 lectors well know James Walker's fine mezzotint ; and the picture 
 itself, in fresh and beautiful condition, was in the exhibition of 
 old English pictures at Messrs. Agnew's last Autumn. Another 
 frequent sitting this year is one or other Miss Ramus— their name 
 is generally spelt Remus in the Diary — one or both of the two 
 beautiful sisters who were painted together by Gainsborough in 
 that exquisite picture which was burnt at Waddesden a few years 
 ago. Romney's heads have had a better fate ; they are still the 
 cherished denizens of a great modern collection, and the engraving 
 after one of them, Benedetta, has been made the subject of a

 poem by Mr. Andrew Lang, mourning for the oblivion which 
 had overtaken the fair lady. Well, in this book we have done 
 our best to rescue her name, and that of the thousand other 
 maids and matrons of the day that sat to Romney, from utter 
 forgetfulness. Another picture, painted a little later than this, 
 has a like interest, because a poet celebrated it; but it was a 
 poet of the time, so that in this case Romney had not to take 
 refuge in Peter Pindar's consoling advice to Wilson, " Wait till 
 thou hast been dead a hundred year ! " It is the head of Lady 
 Craven, the picture of which one of two versions is now in the 
 National Gallery, and the poet is Horace Walpole. Rarely, 
 indeed, does the lord of Strawberry Hill condescend to notice 
 our painter, for Romney does not exhibit, and he is not 
 personally of a kind to attract the critic who, as we know, had 
 little to say to the painters of his own day, even to Sir Joshua. 
 Walpole was too fond of judging people by their entourage, or 
 by some prominent member of it ; he was cold to Reynolds 
 because he could not abide Dr. Johnson ; he was inclined to 
 ignore Romney because he thought little of Richard Cumberland. 
 But for once he forgot his prepossessions, and, whether he really 
 felt what he wrote, or whether he wrote it merely to please 
 Lady Craven, he put his tribute on record, for all time to 
 read. The verses (the original autograph manuscript is let into 
 the frame of Mr. Grenfell's version) have often been quoted, and 
 we give them in the "Catalogue Raisonne"; but they are worth 
 quoting again, and here they are — 
 
 " Full many an artist has on canvas fix'd 
 All charms that Nature's pencil ever mix'd — 
 The witchery of Eyes, the Grace that tips 
 The inexpressible douceur of Lips. 
 Romney alone, in this fair image caught 
 Each Charm's expression and each Feature's thought ; 
 And shows how in their sweet assemblage sit 
 Taste, Spirit, Softness, Sentiment, and Wit." — H. W.

 but a whole volume with notes and anecdotes bearing upon the 
 sitters that so rapidly succeeded one another in Romney's painting- 
 room for nearly twenty years. The precedent set by Tom Taylor 
 in his " Life of Reynolds " would be a pleasant one to follow, 
 for it is always a charming task to track out the history and the 
 gossip of the eighteenth century, and to place among their proper 
 surroundings the statesmen and soldiers, the lawyers and scholars, 
 and the beautiful women that formed and adorned that fascinating 
 society. But we have said almost enough to give an idea of the 
 people that sat to Romney after he came to Cavendish Square ; 
 and there is the less reason to proceed since Romney was never 
 himself, like Reynolds, a part, or even an interested spectator, of 
 that great world. The mighty events which were in progress around 
 him — the war with the American colonies, and the supervening 
 naval war with France and Spain — ran their course without per- 
 sonally affecting him, whereas Reynolds was in constant touch with 
 the men who were most vigorously opposing Lord North's policy, 
 with Burke and Charles Fox ; and it was his own intimate friend 
 of nearly thirty years standing. Admiral Keppel, whose trial in 
 this very year, 1778, formed the central battle-ground between 
 the Court and the popular party. In all these things Reynolds 
 was intimately concerned, as he was in the lighter events of 
 social life, with his constant dinner-parties at Leicester Fields, 
 his still more constant attendance at the tables of the great and 
 the assemblies of Mrs. Montagu and Mrs. Ord, his outings to 
 Streatham, and his mild flirtation with " Little Burney." But 
 Romney lived remote, as remote in his shyness and isolation 
 as Gainsborough lived in his fondness for a Bohemian world 
 — the world of artists that painted and played, and left war to 
 the soldiers and politics to the politicians. It is true that a 
 couple of years afterwards politics were brought pretty closely 
 home to both of them, as they were, nole7itibus volentibus^ to 
 all the householders in London. The Keppel riots in 1778, 
 celebrating the acquittal of the popular Admiral, were festive and

 pleasant enough ; noblemen and gentlemen went out with the 
 crowd ; young Pitt, it is said, helped to break Lord North's 
 windows ; and young Rogers, the banker-poet, to unhinge the 
 gates of the Admiralty. This was very well and very pleasant; 
 but two years later the mob improved upon their lesson, and, in 
 the Lord George Gordon Riots, London was ablaze. From the 
 incident quoted above we have an indication of the panic into 
 which these events threw the respectable citizens of London, 
 and Romney among them. He must search through his canvases, 
 choose out any that might bear a Roman Catholic interpretation, 
 and hurry it away into hiding lest the Protestants should burn 
 down the house. 
 
 In spite then ot the numbers of statesmen and politicians 
 who sat to him, Romney never seems to have taken the smallest 
 interest in public affairs till, as he thought, " the Gaul was at 
 his gates " in the form of a London mob. Yet Members of both 
 Houses of Parliament were frequent sitters to him. We have 
 mentioned the Duke of Richmond and Lord Gower, Burke and 
 Thomas Pitt ; we may add to these the name of Admiral Keppel 
 himself in 1776, and of numbers ot Members of the House of 
 Commons who sat to him and gave him commissions. Here are 
 a few, as to whom the reader may find details in the " Catalogue 
 Raisonne " ; George Amyand, William Beckford, Richard Wil- 
 braham Bootle, William Cartwright, Francis Child, Sir Richard 
 Glyn, Sir William Knatchbull, Charles Jenkinson, Sir Roger 
 Newdigate, Sir George Warren, and, for one portrait, William 
 Pitt himself. Six of his sitters were members of Pitt's first 
 Administration.* It will be owned that to have painted all these 
 men, and so many of the great soldiers and sailors of that 
 fighting time, and yet to have remained wholly outside their 
 interests and wholly wrapped up in his art and in the few friends 
 that he really cared for, argues a degree of objectivity in our 
 artist that would satisfy the most rigid canons of the modern realist.

 V. ROMNEY AND HAYLEY. 
 
 It was in 1776 that Richard Cumberland, the scholar and 
 dramatist, published his two Odes to Romney, which certainly 
 served, as Gibbon said, " as an elegant advertisement of his merits." 
 They are mentioned by both Boswell and by Horace Walpole, 
 the first of whom records Johnson's surprise that Cumberland 
 should " make his poetry subservient to the fame of another man." 
 We are not much further concerned with them at this place, tor 
 Cumberland seems to have exercised little influence upon Romney 
 or upon his career. He sat to the painter for the portrait now in 
 the National Portrait Gallery, probably painted in this year, as well 
 as for the earlier one, engraved in the dramatist's Memoirs, and 
 perhaps for one or two others. Romney painted a copy of an old 
 portrait of Cumberland's grandfather ; he twice painted Cumber- 
 land's wife and child ; and he painted the daughters several times, 
 the chief of these portraits being the beautiful and well-known 
 picture of Elizabeth Cumberland, afterwards Lady Edward Ben- 
 tinck. Richard Cumberland's close knowledge of the painter may 
 be inferred from that Memoir of his, published in the Europea?i 
 Magazine for 1802, to which we have referred already as being, 
 so far as it goes, the source of much authentic information. But 
 in this same year a sitter appears on the scene who is destined, for 
 good or evil, to have much more to do with Romney than ever 
 Cumberland had. This is William Hayley, the poet — courtesy 
 and prescription demand this title for him — who, from the early 
 days of their acquaintance seems to have set himself to obtain pos- 
 session of Romney, and to have largely succeeded in doing so. It 
 was Hayley who, five years after Romney's death, published his 
 " Life " in a quarto volume — " damned the dead with purgatorial 
 praise," as Byron wrote a few years afterwards ; and it was mainly

 to correct the impression left by this volume, infected with the 
 author's vanity, that John Romney set himself to compile his 
 father's Memoirs. Hayley's "Life" is, to tell the truth, one of the 
 most tiresome books ever written in memory of an eminent man, 
 and we should be doing an ill service to Romney or to our readers 
 if we were to dwell upon it, quote it, or controvert it, at any 
 length. Only for a few facts is it of any importance : for Rom- 
 ney's relations to the Royal Academy, for his intercourse with 
 Cowper and with the " Lichfield set," represented by Anna 
 Seward ; for his friendship with Flaxman ; and for certain details 
 as to the way in which, from year to year, he spent his autumn 
 holiday. 
 
 It was Meyer the miniature painter who introduced Hayley 
 to Romney, and, according to the " Life," this happened in the 
 year 1776, when Hayley wished to obtain some portraits of his 
 friends to adorn his new house. But the first entry of Hayley 
 himself as a sitter is on September 9, 1777, when he is entered in 
 the Diary as " Mr. Hally." The poet, as a poet should be, is up 
 with the lark, and sits at eight in the morning on several days in 
 September and October. Meantime he is protesting that Romney 
 works too hard ; and by much expenditure of persuasion in prose 
 and verse he induces him to come and spend some time at Eartham, 
 the pretty place in Sussex where Hayley had settled, and where for 
 several years he entertained kindred spirits, Romney, Wright, and 
 Meyer, the painters, and, several years later, Anna Seward, 
 Charlotte Smith, and Cowper, as representatives of poetry. The 
 substance of the innumerable pages devoted by Hayley to a 
 description of these gatherings is easily extracted ; it simply 
 amounts to this — that Romney came to pass several weeks in every 
 autumn there, that he built a painting-room where he made 
 many sketches, painted a few portraits of the friends, and at least 
 began some large subject pictures, some of them in illustration of 
 subjects suggested by Hayley in what he is pleased to represent as 
 the common occupation of the group, " the chace of ideas." 
 
 55 
 
George Romney. 
 
 Anyone who has succeeded in plodding through a few pages of 
 " The Triumphs of Temper " will understand that Hayley's ideas 
 were, and must have been, essentially commonplace, nor had he 
 any clear conception as to what ideas could be represented in 
 painting and what could not. In this respect, however, Hayley 
 was no worse than his age, when both the men of letters and the 
 public at large seemed to expect and admire large and elaborate 
 pictures of striking episodes in books, to which we in our day 
 should at most give a half-page illustration. There are, in 
 Romney's Memoirs, a couple of letters wherein the worthy trans- 
 lator of Camoens, W. J. Mickle, proposes to Romney a picture 
 on " the apparition by the Cape of Good Hope " from the 
 " Lusiads ; " a night scene in which the waves should " look fiery, 
 red, and glimmering," while " Gama on the hind deck, however 
 small, ought to express horror and intrepidity." Still worse, Mickle 
 approves with reservations a subject " recommended to you by 
 Lord Hardwicke and the Poet Laureat " ; nothing less than " the 
 crowning of the skeleton of the beautiful Inez " — a gruesome 
 subject with which, fortunately, Romney did not persevere. But 
 he went some way towards painting pictures in illustration ot 
 iEschylus, with the encouragement of Richard Potter, the well- 
 known translator ; and his designs for " the Ghost of Darius " and 
 " Atossa's Dream," were quoted as examples of his fondness for 
 " subjects of the sublime, in which the powerful passions are 
 represented." On one point at least we may commend Hayley ; 
 he did make the attempt to fix his friend's desultory mind on the 
 subjects that he wished to paint, and when he was illustrating 
 Shakespeare he supported the Lord Chancellor in trying to make 
 Romney read. " Mr. Romney " (said Lord Thurlow one day to 
 the artist), " before you paint Shakespeare, I advise you to read 
 him ; " much-needed advice, since, as Hayley says, " it may be 
 questioned if Romney ever read, without interruption, two Acts of 
 the dramas he cordially admired." Here, as in his art generally, 
 a swiftness leading to superficiality was Romney's chief danger. 
 
 56 
 
Romney and Hayley. 
 
 Just as he would begin hundreds of portraits and throw them aside 
 till they cumbered his painting-room and the passages of his 
 house, so he would light quickly upon a book, be struck with a 
 subject, sketch it, and perhaps never return either to book or 
 picture again. 
 
 A few of the positive results of the painter's long intimacy 
 with Hayley remain to be noticed. The poet confesses that 
 he encouraged Romney to abstain from exhibiting, and to 
 decline the numerous suggestions made to him by Meyer and 
 others that he should join the Royal Academy. In part his 
 motive in so doing may have been pure friendship for Romney, 
 and based upon a feeling that the painter's nerves and health 
 would have broken down under the strain of publicity ; but it 
 is more certain that Hayley was unwilling to share, still more to 
 surrender, the influence which, by a judicious mixture of flattery 
 and hospitality, he had acquired over his friend, and which he 
 maintained by constant correspondence when Romney was in 
 London, and by inducing him to spend the autumn of every 
 year at Eartham. Another positive result of this assiduity of 
 Hayley's was to make the painter's visits to the North less 
 frequent, and to extinguish any wish that he may have had 
 for a reunion with his wife and son. Hayley's book is not 
 free from signs of the jealousy with which he regarded any 
 movement of the kind, though to be sure he expressed some 
 conventional satisfaction when Romney, worn out in body and 
 mind, had finally retired to Kendal, that " he had the comfort 
 of finding an attentive, affectionate nurse, in a most exemplary 
 wife." Unfortunately I possess evidence, in certain Romney 
 papers which have never been published, and which it would 
 be unkind to publish now, as to Romney's infidelities and as 
 to Hayley's outspoken encouragement of them. There is a 
 little episode of a pretty French model, signing herself " Thelassie" 
 or " Thalassie," so late as May, 1791, when Romney was 
 fifty-six and Hayley forty-five, which puts the matter beyond 
 
 57 I

 all doubt. It is a case of the two Elders and a willing 
 Susannah. Romney's part in the matter may possibly admit 
 of some excuse ; but Hayley's is the part of Pandarus, made 
 additionally odious by his claim to the reversion of the lady. 
 
 Before we leave Hayley, a word may be added as to the 
 feelings entertained towards him by John Romney in the last 
 years of his father's life, and after his death. It is evident 
 enough that the painter's son could not abide the painter's 
 friend, and the Memoirs give certain reasons for this, such as 
 the shabby way in which Hayley constantly contrived to get 
 pictures from the artist without paying for them. A whole 
 series of letters in the writer's possession prove that pictures were 
 not the only form of property which the poet contrived to 
 extract from the artist ; there is a disagreeable story of a bond 
 for ^1500, not worth reviving now, which would of itself be 
 quite sufficient to account for John Romney's hostility. But of 
 course the reasons lay much deeper than any mere question of 
 money or pictures. Romney's son rightly regarded Hayley as 
 an evil influence on his father — a man who, for his own purposes, 
 checked the painter's professional advancement, and tended more 
 and more to estrange him from his home. 
 
 VI. EMMA. 
 
 Romney had reached his eight-and-fortieth year, and had 
 been living six years in Cavendish Square, engaged in what he 
 himself called " this cursed drudgery of portrait-painting," when 
 there came before him a new sitter, destined to exercise a real 
 influence upon his life and, if we may so adapt a phrase of 
 Mr. Gladstone's, " immeasurably to increase his chances of 
 immortality," and, by his agency, her own chances too. This 
 was Amy Lyon, or Emily or Emma Hart, the future Lady

EMMA. LADY HAMILTON. 
 
 By GEORGE ROMNEY. 
 
 In the Collection of 
 ALFRED DE ROTHSCHILD. Esq. 
 
Emma. 
 
 Hamilton. In another part of this book* we have given all 
 the essential and verifiable details of her life, and an account 
 of such pictures of her, whether portraits or fancy subjects, as 
 can be identified, so that in this place it is not necessary to 
 dwell at any length upon her adventures before she came to 
 Romney. The truth is that not much is really known of those 
 years, though there are semi-mythical accounts in plenty, and we 
 only begin to be really acquainted with Emma when Romney 
 paints her and speaks of her, and, still better, when, in and 
 after 1786, she comes to write those letters to Charles Greville, 
 to Sir William Hamilton, to Romney, and finally to Nelson, 
 which are preserved in the late Mr. Alfred Morrison's collection, 
 and which were privately printed by him in two invaluable 
 volumes. There is one exception: the same book gives us the 
 letters exchanged between Emma and Charles Greville in 1781, 
 when her earlier protector. Sir H. Featherstonehaugh, of Up Park, 
 Hampshire, had cast her adrift, and when she turned to Greville 
 almost in despair for herself and for the child that was about to 
 be born. Greville, the smiling voluptuary whom Sir Joshua 
 painted in one of his Dilettanti pictures, was not the man to 
 refuse such an appeal from a creature so exquisite as Emma, and 
 accordingly, though his income was but a pittance for a man of 
 fashion and a Member of Parliament, took charge of Emma and 
 her mother— who passed under the name of " Mrs. Cadogan " — 
 and installed them in a little house in the Edgware Road. 
 There, in great retirement, she passed five years of happiness, 
 seeing nobody but a few of Greville's friends, and among them 
 his uncle, Sir William Hamilton, the British Minister at Naples, 
 whose wife was at that time dying, and who seems to have been 
 already impressed by the auburn-haired goddess whom Greville 
 described as his " tea-maker of the Edgeware Road." And in 
 the beginning of 1782 she was brought to Romney to sit for

 her portrait. As Greville was brother of Lord Warwick, several 
 members of whose family had already been painted by Romney 
 with the greatest success, it was natural enough that he should 
 bring his mistress to Cavendish Square, though he can hardly 
 have suspected that there would be that pre-ordained harmony — 
 as the eighteenth-century philosophers would have said — between 
 artist and sitter as quickly proved to be the case. We know 
 that in later years many painters tried their skill upon her — 
 Reynolds once, Madame Vigee Le Brun at least twice, Angelica 
 Kauffmann probably, and many an Italian painter and sculptor 
 to whom she sat in Sir William's painting room at Naples. But 
 none of these artists, not even Reynolds himself, in the well- 
 known " Bacchante," made of " the most beautiflil woman in the 
 world " anything that was distinctive, anything that was much 
 removed from the commonplace. It is Romney alone who has 
 preserved the life of those wonderful features, of that radiant hair, 
 and of the multitudinous phases of expression through which this 
 born actress, inspired by his suggestions, passed seemingly at will. 
 Her name remains inseparably bound, though in very different 
 ways, with the names of two great men, a hero and a painter. 
 In the Chrojiique scandaleuse of a hundred years ago, Emma 
 belongs to Nelson ; in the history of art she belongs to Romney. 
 The Diary for the early months of 1782 has a large number 
 
 of entries of "a lady at 12," "a lady at 3," "Mrs. at \ past 
 
 12," and so on, but it is not till April 20 that we find the entry 
 "Mrs. H' at 12," a note frequently repeated either as "Mrs. H' " 
 or " Mrs. H." The form of the entry is significant. It seems 
 to mean that Greville, conscious of the irregularity of their 
 relations, wished her to be anonymous at first, and that in a 
 few weeks this had made way for what is so rare in the Diaries, 
 the familiarity of an abbreviation. Be this as it may, it is 
 interesting to learn from John Romney's Memoirs what the 
 first portrait was. " It was," he says, " that beautiful one, so 
 full of naivete^ in which she is represented with a little spaniel 
 
 60 
 
Emma. 
 
 dog under her arm." This is the picture that was made popular 
 by Meyer's contemporary engraving called " Nature," coloured 
 impressions of which have often been sold, during the prevalence of 
 the present craze, for two hundred pounds or more. But what 
 shall we say of the original picture, for which Greville paid twenty 
 guineas ? It went subsequently to Sir William Hamilton, was 
 sold at his sale to a Mr. Lister Parker, and passed afterwards to 
 Mr. Fawkes of Farnley, Turner's friend. After the last Romney 
 exhibition Mr. Fawkes' son yielded to the golden importunities 
 of a buyer, and sold the picture ; and since that time I believe that 
 it has been sold at least twice, the last time for something close 
 upon ^20,000. It is not well to pay too much attention to the 
 vagaries of millionaires who happen to fall in love with a work of 
 art; they are commonly evidence rather of vogue than of merit; 
 they are often decided by accidental qualities and still more 
 by accidental rivalry. But for once in a way we may be 
 permitted to mention an extraordinary instance of the rise of a 
 reputation, as measured by the willingness of the rich, a hundred 
 years after a painter's death, to pay fantastic prices for just one 
 or two of his masterpieces. Doubtless Romney himself thought 
 less of the " Nature " than of the full-length that he began at 
 the same time, the " Circe " with the beasts that should have 
 been painted by Gilpin, but were not. Always hankering after 
 some mode of escape from the " cursed drudgery," he found in 
 Emma not only a woman of perfect beauty both of form and 
 feature, but a born painter's model — a woman who had an 
 instinct for posing in character, and who could adapt herself 
 with the readiness of genius to any part that the imagination 
 or reading of the painter or his friends might chance to suggest. 
 We give elsewhere a list as complete as we have been able to 
 make it of the pictures and sketches for which Emma sat, both 
 in the four years before she went to Naples and on her visit 
 to England five years afterwards, as well as of those which must 
 have been painted from memory and in her absence. Many 
 
 61

 were unfinished, many were destroyed or are lost ; for even his 
 devotion to the adored features could not cure Romney of 
 that inveterate habit to which Cumberland and all the other 
 commentators refer — his swiftness in beginning, his slowness or 
 indecision in finishing. He finished the " St. Cecilia," the 
 " Sensibility " ; one, perhaps two, versions of the " Bacchante " ; 
 " Cassandra," which went to the Shakespeare Gallery ; the 
 " Alope " and the "Circe"; and above all that famous 
 " Spinstress " which Greville would have so much liked to keep, 
 but was obliged to forego. Besides these, there were several 
 finished pictures that were actual portraits, though some of them 
 bore fancy names. " Nature " we have mentioned ; there was 
 also the equally famous " Emma "' or " The Straw Hat," and, 
 besides one or two more, there was the half-length in a black 
 gown and pink petticoat, " sent to Naples," one of the pictures 
 painted for the insatiable Sir William Hamilton, who must fill 
 his house with pictures of her, good like Romney's, or bad like 
 the Roman artists'. And finally there were the two pictures of 
 "Calypso" and "A Magdalen," painted in 1791 for the Prince 
 of Wales, and therefore of special interest in relation to the lady 
 herself. Placid Sir William had no more objection to her 
 knowing the Prince than to her knowing Nelson ; but those 
 who have read the second volume of the Letters above mentioned 
 will remember the savage contempt, the fierce and furious jealousy, 
 with which Nelson spoke of His Royal Highness when he learned 
 that Emma had been meeting him at dinner, and how he forbade 
 her to accept any invitations from him, or to see him again. It 
 must be admitted that in this case the constancy of the Royal 
 admirer was remarkable, for something like ten years had passed 
 between the time that he ordered the pictures and the date of 
 the dinner that filled Nelson with rage. 
 
 At this point every student of Romney has to ask himself 
 the question, What were the personal relations between Emma 
 and her painter ? Was she anything more to him than a perfect 
 
 62

 model, who could respond to every mood of his imagination, 
 and a pleasant companion, whose brightness served to while 
 away the dulness of the painting-room ? The Rev. John Romney 
 of course holds a brief for his father ; but so dull a man is a 
 bad advocate, and his arguments are not convincing. It is idle 
 to talk of Emma's modesty and discretion out-of-doors, and 
 the fact of her mother's constant presence at the sittings is, to 
 say the least, extremely improbable. How could "Mrs. Cadogan" 
 be spared from her humble duties in the Edgware Road ? How 
 could she do the housekeeping if she was always to dance 
 attendance upon her daughter ? The matter indeed must be 
 investigated from a point of view other than that of the painter's 
 highly respectable son. It must be admitted that there was no 
 antecedent improbability in the gossip which took shape some 
 years later, and was probably current at the time, that Romney 
 was Emma's lover and she his mistress. Romney was under 
 fifty ; for twenty years he had lived apart from his wife ; he 
 was of a highly emotional temperament, and, as is proved by the 
 "Thalassie" episode above referred to, of an amorous tempera- 
 ment too. Emma, on the other hand, had long since ceased 
 to conform to the ordinary canons of virtue, and week after 
 week she was brought into contact with a distinguished painter 
 who posed her, flattered her, and represented her on the canvas 
 in a way to turn her clever little head. But if there is no 
 antecedent improbability in the gossip, there is, in my opinion, 
 something almost amounting to proof to the contrary in Emma's 
 letters to Greville written after she went to Naples ; and con- 
 firmation in Romney's whole mental history for ten years after 
 1782. My own opinion, stated in a single sentence, is this : 
 that Romney was really in love with Emma, but that Emma 
 probably never knew it, and that it never occurred to her to 
 return the passion, because she was at the time, and till long 
 after her departure for Naples, honestly and heartily in love 
 with Charles Greville. 
 
 63 
 
George Romney. 
 
 The proof of this last statement is to be found in the 
 Morrison letters, a human document, if ever there was one, 
 throwing not only a curious light upon the state of society in 
 those days, but a light in which pathos is crossed with the 
 higher comedy upon poor Emma's own nature, her griefs, 
 despairs and consolations. First we have the cynical and rather 
 sordid arrangement by which Greville, finding that he has neither 
 money nor credit enough to keep Emma any longer, hands her 
 and her mother over to his uncle, who is to put them away in 
 one of his villas, and to treat them first as guests, and, in the 
 future, as what he will. The pretext is that Emma is to be 
 taught singing and Italian, and trained for the stage. They go 
 to Italy in the early spring of 1786 under the escort of Gavin 
 Hamilton, well known in Rome and London as painter, antiquary, 
 and agent for such English noblemen as were buying antiques. 
 On April 30 Emma writes to Greville, from Naples, a letter as 
 strong in feeling as it is weak in spelling — " I feel more and 
 more unhappy at being separated from you . . . . for to live 
 without you is impossible. I love you to that degree that at 
 this time there is not a hardship upon //earth, either of poverty, 
 hunger, cold, death, or even to walk barefooted to Scotland to 
 see you, but what I would undergo." Sir William is very kind 
 and does all he can for her, but, she adds, "Pray for God's sake 
 Wright to me and come to me, for Sir William shall never be 
 anything to me but your freind." Three months later, on 
 July 22, she writes almost in the same strain, though her hopes 
 of rejoining Greville are becoming faint. " I am now only 
 writing to beg of you for God's sake to send me one letter, if 
 it is only a ferewell .... I have been from you going of six 
 months, and you have wrote one letter to me, enstead of which 
 I have sent fourteen to you. ... I have lived with you 5 yeares, 
 and you have sent me to a strange place, and no one prospect 
 but thinking you was coming to me." She protests that her 
 singing-master and her language-master do not distract her ; but

 we detect an incipient change of tone when she begins to speak 
 of the people who are painting her — two of them, with a 
 promise of " Angelaca if she comes " — and still more in the 
 naive account of her success as a beauty. " Prince Draydrixton 
 (Dietrichstein ?) is my cavaliere servante or chechespeo, which 
 you like. He is very much in love with me. I walk in the 
 Villa Reale every night. I have generally two Princes, two or 
 three nobles, the English Minister, and the King with a crowd 
 round me." Still she is faithful to Greville, and on August i, 
 having got his letter, she writes furiously of his advice that she 
 should live with Sir William as she had lived with her lover. 
 She would rather die in the streets of London ! Then comes 
 her postscript, showing that her power over the Minister was by 
 this time assured, and that she knew that he would go all lengths 
 for her. " Pray write, for nothing will make me so angry, 
 and it is not your intrest to disoblidge me, for you don't know 
 the power I have hear. Only I never will be his mistress. If 
 you affront me I will make him marry me — God bless you for 
 ever." Finally — alas, for human constancy ! — we have on 
 December 26 the proof that Emma has yielded to the necessities 
 of the situation, and has given herself to Sir William. It is to 
 him, and not to Greville, that she writes from Caserta, "Certain 
 it is I love you .... yesterday when you went awhey from 
 me I thought all my heart and soul was torn from me " ; and 
 so forth through many letters. None the less, she writes from 
 time to time to Greville, telling him the news : that the house 
 is full of painters painting her ; that Marchant is cutting her 
 head in a cameo ; that her singing has become wonderfiil — 
 better than that of the Banti ; and that she has had an offer of 
 six thousand pounds for three years to be the first woman of the 
 Italian Opera at Madrid. But this is not our affair, and we may 
 leave her to enjoy her success at Naples, to come home with Sir 
 William in 1791, to marry him in Marylebone Church, and to play 
 the rest of her part in the history of Naples and of England.

George Romney. 
 
 How Romney regarded her departure in 1786 we are left to 
 infer from a few scattered indications, and from his known con- 
 duct after her return and marriage. Evidently it made him very 
 miserable. His work went on unabated; sitters for 1786 are as 
 numerous as ever, and he is painting some of his finest pictures, 
 such as the " Wilbraham-Bootle Boys," the " Mrs. Carmichael 
 Smyth," and the " Lady Milner." But overwork is no remedy 
 for what is really a bereavement, and it is at this time that we 
 begin to find increasing references to the depression of spirits which 
 is to characterise Romney henceforth and to lead to hypochondria, 
 and finally to develop into that sad state into which he sank soon 
 after his sixtieth year. Some people, and especially Richard 
 Cumberland,* declared that the depression and the final break- 
 down were due to Romney 's own manner of life ; but it is not 
 possible to doubt that the loss of Emma, his constant model, his 
 friend, the companion who brought sunshine into his grey 
 existence, if she brought nothing more, counted for a great deal 
 in producing the first symptoms of the decline. Sometimes indeed 
 he seeks consolation in working at the pictures that he has begun 
 from her. It was in November of this year, eight months after 
 her departure, that Hayley " happened to find him one morning 
 contemplating by himself a recently-coloured head, on a small 
 canvas.' It was the " Sensibility," with Emma's features. Next 
 year Boydell's great scheme of the Shakespeare Gallery was pro- 
 jected, Romney having been one of the first artists consulted (his 
 son claims that the scheme itself was due to Romney's suggestion) ; 
 and in the three pictures that he painted for it, " The Tempest," 
 " The Infant Shakespeare Nursed by Tragedy and Comedy," and 
 " Cassandra," it was Emma again, though she herself was far 
 away at Naples, that served as model, the figure of Comedy in 
 the second picture being taken from her. Of direct evidence of

 the state of his feelings towards Emma during these years of her 
 absence there is but little ; while on her side we have only one or 
 two perfectly calm references to him, as when, in the letter quoted 
 above, she tells Greville that she has " wrote to Romney " to send 
 to Naples the " picture in the black gown." So far as I know, 
 there is but one letter of his remaining that is addressed to her at 
 this period, but that one is extremely interesting. In a sketch- 
 book, acquired by Mr. Fairfax Murray at the Romney sale in 
 1894, is the draft, astonishing in its orthography, of the reply 
 sent to her from Eartham in August, 1786, when she and Sir 
 William had invited Romney and Hayley to visit them at Naples. 
 Both painter and poet had been ill, but Romney has now 
 recovered. " I hope," he writes, " in a weke or to to by upon 
 my pins (I cannot well call them legs — as you know at best they 
 are very poor ones)." Each would like to accept, but cannot. 
 " I have made for Hayley," he writes, " a copy of the head of 
 Cassandra, and which will be put up in the most conspicuous part 
 of his beautiful Liberi. He say the sight of such a head always 
 inspires him with poetical ideas it has so much beauty." Then he 
 asks Emma's opinion about the subject of one of those big classical 
 pictures that he was for ever intending to paint ; and proceeds : 
 " I have planned many other subjects for pictures, and flatter my- 
 self your goodness will indulge me with a sitting when you return 
 to England — I have now a great number of Ladys of [? fashion] 
 setting to me since you left England, but all fall far short of the 
 Sempstress. Indeed it is the sun of my Hemispheer, and they are 
 the twinkling stars. When I return to London I intend to finish 
 the Cassandra and the picture of Sensibility. The Bacanalian 
 picture is in statu quo^ also the Serena and the Cibele, and the 
 Medea the last is the figure sitting with her hair floating in the 
 air. • 
 
 * Nothing more is known of the last three pictures, which probably were among those 
 that perished (or v/ere stolen) at Hampstead. It is interesting to find that Emma Hart, 
 as well as Honora Sneyd, sat for Serena, Hayley's heroine. What does Romney mean by 
 ■" Cibele " ? Is it a Cybele, or a Sibyl ?

George Romney. 
 
 This letter is the solitary reference to the sun of the painter's 
 
 " Hemispheer " until Emma returns with Sir William in 1791, 
 
 to be married to him in Marylebone Church. Meantime letters 
 
 preserved in Hayley's " Life " — if we can trust compositions so 
 
 obviously " edited " by the biographer — show Romney as liable to 
 
 frequent fits of depression, morbidly sensitive, and often profoundly 
 
 unhappy. He cheers up when he goes to Eartham ; he works at 
 
 his big " Tempest " picture in the wooden painting-room that he 
 
 built for himself, and finishes it in 1790, after prodigious anxiety, 
 
 which " at times had nearly overwhelmed him." During all 
 
 these years, as the Diaries show, he was working as hard as 
 
 ever in London ; and he was also seeing some society. The 
 
 friendship of Lord Thurlow was stimulating to him ; and it is 
 
 about this time that we hear of his joining the " Unincreasables," 
 
 a small dining club. In his painting-room the sittings are rather 
 
 fewer, and they often do not begin until after twelve ; but this 
 
 is because the morning hours are given to his Shakespeare pictures 
 
 — to the work which posterity is obliged to admit was quite 
 
 foreign to Romney's genius, and which it would have been 
 
 better for his fame that he should never have attempted at all. 
 
 But neither ill-health nor his devotion to great " history " pictures 
 
 prevented his producing some of his finest portraits during these 
 
 years : in 1788 the beautiful "Mrs. Clements," and the wonderful 
 
 head of John Wesley; in 1789, "Mrs. Milles," "Mrs. Fitz- 
 
 herbert," and many more. 
 
 In 1790 he goes with Hayley and Carwardine on a visit 
 to Paris under the auspices of Dr. Warner, Chaplain to the 
 new Ambassador, Lord Gower. Warner was intimate with Lord 
 Thurlow, whose regard for Romney is one of the best-known 
 facts in the career of both Chancellor and painter ; and Lord 
 Gower and his family had long been friendly with " the man 
 in Cavendish Square." Had they not good reason to be so ? 
 Had he not long ago painted for them that wonderful picture 
 of dancing children which is to this day one of the glories

 of Trentham, as it is one of the three or four masterpieces of 
 the English School ? So Romney was well protected in Paris, 
 especially as the famous Madame Sillery (Madame de GenHs), 
 at that time governess in the family of the Duke of Orleans, 
 was extremely kind to the party, and obtained for Romney 
 every facility for examining the Orleans pictures. The three 
 friends were entertained by her at the Convent de la Belle 
 Chasse, at the Duke's villa at Rancy, and elsewhere ; and it 
 is interesting to learn that they on their part entertained David 
 and Greuze at dinner, and that David took them to the 
 Luxembourg to study the Marie de Medicis series of Rubens. 
 Hayley gives a fairly full account of the trip, and there is 
 extant a letter of Romney to his son describing it. The 
 curious thing is that neither seems to have had any idea of the 
 political dangers of the situation ; they appear to have forgotten 
 that the Bastille had been stormed just a year before, and to 
 have had no suspicion of what the Revolution had in store. 
 " Paris is quiet," writes Romney, '' though they are very 
 apprehensive that our preparations for war are against them. . . . 
 the people are still gay and good-humoured, but not so fantastic 
 as they were ; indeed it is a pleasant place to live in when a 
 man wishes to dissipate." Then follows a piece of dramatic 
 criticism, which shows that in matters theatrical things were 
 not very different in 1790 from what they are to-day. "We 
 have been much delighted with the performances in the theatres, 
 particularly by the women ; they are far before us, it is astonishing 
 how exquisitely some of the women act, especially in comedy. 
 I wish I could say that Mrs. Jordan was upon a parr with 
 some of them." * 
 
 * In Messrs. Langham's Catalogue of autograph letters, &c., Jan. 1902, is a 
 transcript of a somewhat later letter of Romney to his son, of which part is printed in the 
 " Memoirs," p. 228. The unprinted portion is interesting, as showing that Romney had 
 revolutionary leanings (Hayley, we know, compared him to Rousseau). On Oct. 10, 
 1792, a month after the September massacres, he writes: "The extraordinary events that 
 have succeeded one another for the last three months have interested and astonished the

George Romney. 
 
 The heat of Paris in August was too much for him ; he tell 
 ill and was depressed all through the autumn, receiving through 
 the last three months of the year a mere fraction of the sitters that 
 he had painted the autumn before. There is but little falling oft, 
 however, in the records of the following spring, and at last, at the 
 end of May, a great event occurs that pours new life into him, or, 
 as the pedantic Hayley puts it, " raises to joyous elevation the 
 sinking spirits of the artist." hmma comes home ! She has not 
 announced herself to appear ; and one morning, " in a Turkish 
 habit," she pays the painter a surprise visit, with Sir William 
 Hamilton in her train. The marriage is determined on ; but mean- 
 time it will give pleasure to all three that Emma should sit daily 
 to her painter. It will gratify her vanity, give scope to her 
 histrionic talent, increase the pride of her future husband, and 
 make Romney believe once more that life is worth living. On 
 June 19 he writes to Hayley : " At present, and the greatest part 
 of the summer, I shall be engaged in painting pictures from the 
 divine lady. I cannot give her any other epithet, for I think her 
 superior to all womankind." All the world is following her, 
 talking of her, " so that if she had not more good sense than 
 vanity, her brain must be turned." But she comes constantly to 
 be painted, and he has put on record the names of the pictures 
 that he has begun — a ''Joan of Arc"; a "Magdalen" and a 
 " Bacchante " lor the Prince of Wales ; a companion to the 
 " Bacchante " is being planned ; and a " Constance " for the 
 Shakespeare Gallery, though in point of fact, this last was never 
 even begun. The Diaries show us how frequent are the sittings; 
 from June 2, " Mrs. H." comes every second day, being generally 
 the first sitter at nine in the morning. A curious little point 
 might be made out of the fact that she is followed, at her 
 second sitting on June 4, by " Mrs. Acton " — the Mrs. Lee 
 
 world In a very high degree. The present moment is an epoch to liberty, such as never 
 happened before since the Creation. I confess the sublimity of it ; taking it together 
 has interested and agitated me."

 Acton whose full-length portrait, seen lately at the Romney 
 exhibition and subsequently engraved, is one of the loveliest 
 of all Romney's full-lengths. Are we to suppose that the 
 painter's energies had been so much stimulated by the recovery 
 of Emma that he rose for the moment to a higher level of 
 performance altogether ? 
 
 Soon, however, a cloud comes over the " sun of his Hemi- 
 spheer " ; the overwrought painter yields for a bitter moment, not 
 to jealousy indeed, for he well knows that she belongs to Sir 
 William, but to the dread that he is losing her friendship. He 
 goes to see her act at Sir William's house, admires her prodigiously 
 — for " her acting is simple, grand, terrible, and pathetic," and 
 tells her so, to her great satisfaction. " But alas, soon after I 
 discovered an alteration in her conduct to me. A coldness and 
 neglect seemed to have taken the place of her repeated declarations 
 of regard." The poor man is profoundly miserable, but after a 
 fortnight, when she has returned from the country, she comes to 
 sit again, and sits every day; and " since she has resumed her 
 former kindness," writes the heart-sick painter, " my health and 
 spirits are quite recovered." Romney even gives a party in her 
 honour — it is the only occasion on which we hear of his putting 
 his good house in Cavendish Square to such an excellent use. 
 " She performed in my house last week, singing and acting before 
 some of the nobility with most astonishing power. She is the 
 talk of the whole town, and really surpasses every thing, both in 
 singing and acting, that ever appeared. Gallini offered her two 
 thousand pounds a year, and two benefits, if she would engage 
 with him, on which Sir William said pleasantly, that he had 
 engaged her for life." And finally, in early September come two 
 significant entries in the Diary : 
 
 Sep. 5. Mon. Mrs. Hart at 9. 
 
 6. Tues. Lady Hamilton at 1 1 . 
 Early that Tuesday morning Emma had been married to Sir Wil- 
 liam Hamilton at Marylebone Church, whence she must have

 driven straight back to Cavendish Square to give one last sitting — 
 her first and only one under her new name and in her regularised 
 position — to the devoted painter. The departure for Naples took 
 place very soon afterwards ; there was an affectionate leave-taking, 
 and Romney and Emma saw each other no more. She returned 
 to England indeed before he died, and spoke kindly of him to 
 Hayley, apparently making tender enquiries about him, and still 
 more about the portrait of her that he had promised to give to 
 her mother, which was duly handed over to her by Hayley on 
 December 13, 1800 ; but he was too ill to return to London; the 
 peasant wife was nursing him ; he had no mind or powers left for 
 the lady from the land of the Sirens. 
 
 VII. LAST YEARS. 
 
 There is little more to record of Romney's life, though he 
 lived for eleven years after Emma's marriage, and though, as the 
 Diaries and both the old biographies show, he tried to work 
 hard while any strength remained to him, both in the so-called 
 " higher " art and in what he himself persisted in describing as 
 " the trifling part " of his profession. He continued to have 
 Cavendish Square for his head-quarters till December 1798, when 
 he sold the lease to another painter, Martin Archer Shee, who 
 is known to have finished several of his late pictures and to have 
 copied many, and who was already on the high-road to great 
 distinction; but already for two or three years Romney had been 
 occupied, as the Memoirs say, in " making plans of fantastic 
 buildings," till his son persuaded him to buy a house at Holly- 
 bush Hill, Hampstead.* John Romney says that this house 
 originally cost but little, and, with the addition of a gallery, 
 
 * See the "Hampstead Annual" for 1901, for an article by Miss B. Marshall

 would have answered all the painter's purposes ; but he unfor- 
 tunately did not stay to look after his father, who presently, 
 " under the influence of some worthless people " and of Hayley, 
 proceeded to build " a whimsical structure," covering half his 
 garden. For posterity the melancholy interest of this lies in the 
 fact that all his pictures, finished and unfinished — and we know 
 what a multitude there were — were stowed away in this new 
 building with disastrous effect. " For want of adequate room," 
 says John Romney, who of course knew the facts, " the pictures 
 were crammed into all vacant places, or arranged along the 
 arcade, where, being exposed in the open air to the alternate 
 action of moisture and frost, they were almost entirely destroyed 
 in the course of the winter; several, also, were stolen." From 
 many sources we obtain indications of what pictures were taken 
 to Hampstead — the last portrait of Lady Hamilton, painted for 
 her mother, was one of them. It is sad to think that many of 
 this quality may have been injured or destroyed. 
 
 To speak, however, of the Hampstead episode is to anticipate 
 matters, for, though there is no need to dwell upon details, 
 one or two of the events in Romney's life subsequent to the 
 departure of Lady Hamilton deserve some kind of notice. Such 
 was his friendship with certain literary people whom he met at 
 Eartham in the autumn of 1792, William Cowper above all ; 
 Charlotte Smith, the clever and prolific novelist and sonneteer; 
 and Anna Seward, the Muse of Lichfield. Romney painted all 
 their portraits, a masterly one in crayons of Cowper, and at 
 least two in oils of Anna Seward ; in return Cowper wrote him 
 almost the only good verses that his art had ever inspired, and 
 the gushing Anna nearly overwhelmed the caro pittore — so he was 
 called in the set — with letters and poems. A more important 
 friendship, which also took its rise in the Hayley milieu^ was 
 that with Flaxman — " our dear and worthy Flaxman, whose 
 talents I admire and place above every other artist." The 
 analogies between these two classically-minded artists, votaries of

 pure line and of what each beUeved to be Greek ideals, are 
 
 sufficiently obvious ; and among the most interesting critical 
 
 productions of the eighteenth or the early nineteenth century is 
 
 the estimate of Romney's art which Flaxman wrote, and which 
 
 Hayley printed in the Life (p. 305). Flaxman, with immense 
 
 trouble, had collected scores of large casts for Romney in Rome; 
 
 and Romney had paid a fine tribute to his sculptor-friend in 
 
 the picture, painted in the last year of his activity (1795), of 
 
 " Flaxman Modelling the Bust of Hayley," a picture of which 
 
 John Romney speaks as worthy to take its place by the side 
 
 of Raphael and Rubens. It was the subject of an unseemly 
 
 wrangle, causing an estrangement between Hayley and the painter, 
 
 and greatly sharpening the dislike with which John Romney 
 
 always regarded the man who had exploited his father for his 
 
 own benefit. The story of the quarrel is not worth reviving, 
 
 and the world may be content with the fact that the picture is 
 
 still in the possession of the family of Thomas Greene, Romney's 
 
 lifelong friend and man of business, to whom the painter left it. 
 
 As to the other portraits painted during these years, they 
 
 are almost as abundant as of old, and the Diaries of 1792-95 
 
 show us the painter, in spite of fi^equent fits of depression and 
 
 attacks of illness, still working hard at the " drudgery," the 
 
 " trifling part," the " shabby part " of his profession, as he 
 
 himself described it ; but when we observe that among the very 
 
 latest entries are such excellent pictures as the " Mrs. Charnock " 
 
 and the fijll-length of the Duke of Portland for Christ Church, 
 
 it is clear that Romney's art had scarcely declined at all ; and that 
 
 he could still paint a head with the old mastery. Such mental 
 
 satisfaction, however, as came to him in these years of depression 
 
 came from work of another kind. There is evidence that he 
 
 really enjoyed painting the great family picture at Petworth, 
 
 and his spirits rose while he was working at " Newton making 
 
 Experiments with the Prism," and " Milton and his Daughters." 
 
 In the reasoned opinion of posterity works like this are far 
 
 74

 from representing the real genius ot Romney, and any Director 
 of a modern gallery would prefer a single head of Lady 
 Hamilton, or even a picture of one of those " twinkling stars " 
 that, in the painter's opinion, were not to be compared with 
 her, to a dozen of these great " histories." But Romney himself 
 believed that the greatness of an artist lay that way ; nay, that 
 for him it lay in the way of the Shakespeare pictures and, above 
 all, in the vast designs that he was conceiving in illustration 
 of Milton. In 1794 he writes to Hayley : "I had formed a 
 plan of painting the Seven Ages, and also the Visions of Adam 
 with the Angel, to bring in the Flood, and the opening of the 
 Ark, which would make six large pictures (but this is a profound 
 secret)." He even enlarges the list to " six other subjects from 
 Milton," or even twelve ; " I have ideas of them all, and I 
 may say sketches " — his sketch-books indeed, which are many, 
 and that curious collection in the Fitzwilliam Museum at 
 Cambridge, teem with such designs. The letter ends pathetically 
 in a way to confirm that much disputed statement of Hayley, 
 that Romney had at all times been beset by a fear of enemies. 
 It was true enough, though it had never, in Romney's case, 
 gone beyond an extreme nervousness, causing acute suffering. 
 At this period of his life, when his physical powers were declining, 
 the weakness had gone so far that he had to insist upon the 
 " profound secret," but, he adds, " Alas ! I cannot begin 
 anything for one year or two, and if my name was mentioned, 
 I should hear nothing but abuse, and that I cannot bear. Fear 
 has always been my enemy. My nerves are too weak for 
 supporting anything in public." 
 
 Romney was only sixty years old when he wrote like this, 
 but his vital powers were failing ; his career was drawing to its 
 close. The unfortunate Hampstead experiment followed two years 
 later, but it gave him little satisfaction, nor could he long bear 
 the solitude of the place and the misery of increasing depression. 
 Finally, in May, 1798, he takes the step that he should have taken

 years before — he returns to his wife and son at Kendal, in the 
 hope of at last making a worthy home for them and himself, and 
 of investing his considerable savings in a house and land. An 
 unpublished letter, written in this year by John Romney to his 
 uncle, the Indian Major, describes a house-hunting expedition that 
 he and his father had made to Barrow, Whitehaven and Lancaster ; 
 they had found a place near Bootle, and tried to buy it, but it 
 was too dear. Finally Romney bought the estate of Whitestock, 
 near Ulverstone ; but he never lived to build the house which he 
 had destined for himself; that task was left to his son to perform. 
 For about three-quarters of a century Whitestock Hall remained 
 in the possession of John Romney and his daughter ; at her death 
 it was sold, and the contents, including many of her grandfather's 
 pictures and sketches, his sketch-books, and the diaries and other 
 manuscripts on which the present work is founded, were scattered 
 abroad. 
 
 Romney died on November 15, 1802, having been for two 
 or three years in a state of complete imbecility. He was buried 
 in Dalton churchyard ; but an unseemly dispute with Lord George 
 Cavendish, owner of the chancel, prevented his son from carrying 
 out his intention of setting up a monument in the church itself, 
 so that this had to be transferred to Kendal and placed in the 
 parish church. 
 
 A century has passed since then, and Romney's name and 
 fame remain — a great possession of the English school. Opinion 
 indeed has not been uniformly kind to him ; the pathway up which 
 his repute has climbed has often been inconspicuous, has now 
 diverged, now dipped into hollows, now passed out of sight. For 
 the first halt-century or more after his death his work was neglected. 
 Hidden in private houses, the public never saw it; his biographies 
 did not interest people ; he had left no group of influential friends 
 to hand down his memory. There was no such machinery of 
 celebrity in his case as had existed so abundantly in Sir Joshua's,

 who lived not only by his pictures but by a multitude of lovely 
 engravings and by the written and spoken word of colleagues, 
 pupils, and friends. So Romney's fame may almost be said to have 
 died away during the dark ages between 1820 and 1850 ; and 
 Christie's catalogues show that in those days he was ignored by 
 collectors and by galleries, such as then existed. In the general 
 revival of aesthetic intelligence which began about the middle of the 
 century — a revival of which the Pre-Raphaelite movement, the 
 eloquence of Ruskin, and the growth of a new class of wealthy 
 amateurs were so many symptoms and conditions — Romney began 
 to emerge once more. "Old Masters'" exhibitions, after 1870, 
 brought him before the eyes of everybody, at a time when, strange 
 to say, a couple of pretty but unimportant heads alone represented 
 him in the National Gallery. It is unnecessary to follow any 
 further the growth of his popularity, for it is written in a score of 
 Romney publications, in a hundred new prints, and in the records 
 of a multitude of exhibitions, culminating in that which was held 
 all through the year 1900 at the Grafton Gallery. Enough to say 
 that the world has once more discovered, during the last thirty 
 years, that a fine Romney is a fine possession ; while those judges 
 whose interest in art is wholly non-acquisitive have thought it 
 worth while to take him seriously, and have on the whole decided, 
 though discriminatingly and with many reserves, that the amateurs 
 are right. 
 
 The first point on which all the authorities agree is as to 
 Romney's artistic sincerity. Never was there an artist who lived 
 more wholly in his art. " In his painting-room," said his pupil 
 Robinson, " he seemed to have the highest enjoyment of life, and 
 the more he painted the greater flow of spirits he acquired." It 
 is true that, by one of the ironies of history, it was not primarily 
 in portrait-painting that he was interested, but in those larger 
 schemes and subjects to which, according to the classification 
 of his time, he gave a higher place. " His heart and soul," said 
 his friend the great Flaxman, " were engaged in the pursuit of 
 
 11 
 
George Romney. 
 
 historical and ideal painting" — the painting in which he was 
 destined to produce but few finished works, and those failures. 
 Men and women, in tliemselves, interested him but little; and 
 from this fact there came at once his shrinking from society and his 
 limitations as a portrait-painter. " A new face," writes one of the 
 keenest and, in Romney's case, one of the most severe of modern 
 critics,* " set him no new problem " ; that is to say, he was not a 
 searching investigator into character, as were the great Florentines, 
 and as Velasquez was, and as are the best of the moderns. " He 
 merely moved the parts of the mask a little about, so that the 
 features by their spacing might approach to a likeness," and 
 hence a superficial mutual resemblance among Romneys, a certain 
 clinging to a pattern in the forms of faces, in the set of the head, 
 in the way the sitter looks out of the canvas. It is curious that 
 Flaxman, in his studied praise of Romney, and Gainsborough, in 
 his spontaneous and unwilling praise of Reynolds, should have 
 happened on the same word, " various." Everybody admits it in 
 the case of the great President ; but it is not so true of Romney, 
 who seems to have been constantly thinking, as he posed a sitter, 
 of form as the antique sculptors whom he loved had taught him 
 to regard it. 
 
 What is it, then, that gives Romney his hold upon this 
 generation, and will continue to give him a hold so long as a love 
 of art endures among us ? In part, of course, it is because he 
 shares with Reynolds and Gainsborough the good fortune of having 
 kept alive for us a society of which the fascination is enduring — 
 that limited and privileged society of the eighteenth century, which 
 had realised such a perfect art of living, and with which we can 
 clasp hands across the gulf, as we cannot with the men and women 
 of Charles the Second's time, or even of Queen Anne's. Much 
 more is it because, by temperament and training, Romney was an 
 artist in love with loveliness ; because he found it in the women 
 and children of his time, and stamped it on countless canvases.

 To our problem-haunted painters of to-day, it may seem that his 
 sense of form, as the above-quoted critic has said, was " generic 
 and superficial " ; they may condemn him because he did not try 
 to penetrate deep into character, and because he simplified too 
 much, like the Greek sculptors. The lover of mere human beauty 
 will care little for such objections, provided that a portrait gives 
 him the essentials of a beautiful face — 
 
 " The witchery of eyes, the grace that tips 
 The inexpressible douceur of lips," 
 
 — and has blended them with the aristocractic dignity of the "Lady 
 Sligo " or with the melting sweetness of many of the sketches of 
 Emma. This is what he finds in every first-rate Romney ; and he 
 finds much more. He finds pure and unfaded colour, the fruit 
 of the painter's knowledge and of a self-restraint which forbade 
 him to search for complex effects through rash experiments. He 
 finds a quality of painting which, though it wants the subtlety and 
 " preciousness " that Gainsborough reached instinctively and Sir 
 Joshua by effort, is a quality to which nobody but a master can 
 attain. To be convinced of this, we have only to look closely 
 at the brushwork of the eyes in any of the National Gallery 
 Romney s, or the draperies in such pictures as the " Lady Warwick 
 and Children " or the " Lady Derby." Again, our lover of beauty 
 finds his satisfaction — and here the most exacting painter-critic 
 will be at one with him — in the " large and unfrittered design " 
 which is the mark of almost every mature Romney without 
 exception. Of all his natural gifts this was the greatest; it was 
 because he was a born designer that he found such pleasure and 
 stimulus in the Stanze of the Vatican ; that he surrounded himself 
 with fine casts from the antique, and " would sit and consider 
 these in profound silence by the hour " ; * and that, in his happiest 
 moments, he would produce a group like the " Gower Children," 
 or such a masterpiece of line as the " Lady Bell Hamilton." Of 
 
 * Flaxman, in Hayley's "Life of Romney," p. 311.

 course he painted too much ; that is agreed. He worked too 
 hard ; in his leisure hours he was too often alone ; he was un- 
 fortunate in the fact that his principal friend was not a Diderot 
 or a Johnson, but a Hayley. Hence a certain amount of hasty 
 production, a chronic surrender to depression, a constant search 
 for subjects not suited to his art, or to any art. But when all is 
 said, he remains one of the greatest painters of the eighteenth 
 century, and one of the glories of the English name.

ROMNEY'S DIARIES, 1776— 1795. 
 
 A VERBATIM TRANSCRIPT. 
 
 The Diaries extend from March 27, 1776, to 
 December 31, 1795, and altogether about nine 
 thousand sittings are recorded in rather less than 
 twenty years. The Diary for 1785, when Romney 
 was in the full flush of his powers, is lost ; it was not 
 included in the 1894 sale of Miss Romney's effects, 
 but it was in existence in the early part of the 
 century. Romney's son used it, as may be inferred 
 from the Rough Lists of portraits which he drew 
 up, and to which reference is frequently made in 
 our "Catalogue Raisonn^." The entries, especially 
 during the spring months, are distinctly what the late 
 Mr. Ruskin would describe as blottesque; many of 
 them are only decipherable after much painful 
 examination and comparison. Romney's writing at 
 the last was extremely bad ; and in his Diaries he 
 may be said to have excelled himself. The entries 
 with their various contractions were, of course, per- 
 fectly intelligible to himself, and so far they served 
 their immediate purpose. Not all are in Romney's 
 own hand, and many are clearly in the autograph of 
 the sitter. For instance, the entry of " Lady Louisa 
 Conolly at 10," on April 25, 1776, is clearly written by 
 her; " Bishop of Worcester at 10," and his sister-in- 
 law, " Miss Southby at 2," May 7 of the same year, 
 are presumably written in by the Bishop, and so on. 
 The Diaries, therefore, if they had no other interest, 
 would be unique as a collection of autographs of most 
 of the nobility and gentry of the twenty years covered 
 by them. The " blottesque " character of many of 
 the more crowded pages is owing first to quill pens ; 
 and secondly, to the absence of blotting-paper, for 
 many of the pages were obviously closed before the 
 ink was dry. In most cases sand was used to absorb 
 the superfluous ink, and in many places the finer 
 particles of sand still sparkle like silver on the pages. 
 Romney's own entries are characterised by the 
 phonetic nature of the spelling when the names are 
 written in full, and by his apparent dislike to capital 
 letters. Many of the later entries are in the hand- 
 writing of his son, or in those of one or the other of 
 his pupils, and these are fairly intelligible. In the 
 following transcript we have followed the Diary as 
 
 closely as possible, and give in brackets the name of 
 the sitter intended where the spelling in the Diary is 
 not clear. The task of transcribing the Diaries after 
 the whole "spirit," so to speak, of the considerable 
 variety of handwriting had been entered into, was 
 comparatively easy work, and at most a question only 
 of weeks. The rearrangement of the sittings under 
 their respective heads in alphabetical order was not 
 so easy as it may seem, and involved some months of 
 incessant application. In several instances a lady 
 would commence to sit for her portrait before her 
 marriage, and the portrait would not be finished until 
 after her marriage ; the post-nuptial sittings would, of 
 course, be in her new name, and it is scarcely neces- 
 sary to point out how much labour this has involved 
 upon us. Another source of constant anxiety and 
 labour has been the fact that many portraits, well- 
 known and exhibited, do not appear at all in the 
 Diaries under the names by which they are now 
 known. For instance, the whole-length of Lady 
 Broughton was painted during the lifetime of her first 
 husband, Mr. Scott-Jackson. We have rigidly adhered 
 to what has seemed to us the only safe rule, namely, 
 to adopt the names as they occur in Romney's 
 Diaries, but in all cases cross-references have been 
 employed where they seemed at all needful or 
 serviceable. 
 
 Romney came to London in 1762, but he did not 
 start a Diary until he had settled in Cavendish Square, 
 some time after his return from Italy, in 1766. There 
 may have been Diaries of these early years ; if so, 
 they have perished. He must have painted some 
 hundreds of pictures before he went to Italy, but of 
 these there is only an imperfect record. A few are 
 mentioned in Hayley's " Life," and in his son's 
 " Memoirs " ; and twenty-five pictures are recorded as 
 having been exhibited by him at the Free Society of 
 Artists, and at the Society of Artists, from 1763 to 
 1772 ; but in only a very few instances were these 
 early pictures of the first importance. The twenty 
 years covered by the Diaries may therefore be regarded 
 as including all that is great in Romney's life- 
 work.
