George Morland 1763 - 1804 (20 works)

J. Morland was born into the family of artist, engraver and restorer Henry Robert Morland; he was the third of 6 children. He began drawing as a child, and some of his works from that time were exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts (RAA) in 1773, and then at the Society of Free Artists in 1775 and 1776. Re-exhibition of J. Morland's works took place in 1778, 1779 and 1780. For some time, Morland studied at the school at the Academy, but the main teacher was his father, with whom George spent 7 years as an “apprentice,” starting at the age of 14. He also studied the works of old masters by visiting art galleries.

J. Morland is best known for his wonderful paintings depicting animals and scenes from rural life; also painted portraits. The most talented of them were created between 1790 and 1794. His works are influenced by the work of Gainsborough and the old Dutch masters.
