Biography: Lawrence
(b bristol, 13 april 1769; d london, 7 jan 1830). English painter and collector. He was the finest portrait painter of his generation in Europe and the last English inheritor of the legacy of van Dyck. His technical facility and rapid and enormous public success should not obscure the originality and self-consciousness of his imagination. He also formed a superb collection of old master drawings.
