George Romney 1734-1802 by Alex Kidson
This book marks the bicentenary of Romney's death and reflects a new stage in his popularity, offering the first fully rounded modern overview of his career. Over 200 works, many of which are reproduced for the first time, are discussed, while many more have been the subject of new research. George Romney is considered afresh in the light of these discoveries and he emerges at his best as one of the most brilliant and inventive artists of his time.
