James Thornhill Art
1674-1735
The English painter James Thornhill became well known for reusing the devices and mythological themes influenced by Louis Laguerre and Louis Cheron, the two French history painters. Thornhill received two of the most prestigious commissions in London, the painted decorations of Greenwich Hospital and the dome of St Paul's Cathedral. Besides these enormous ceilings, lots of sketches by Thornhill are held in public collections, such as the one in the Courtauld Institute that shows handling of figures and smooth brushwork as the painting on offer. Furthermore, episodes from the Trojan War were very fashionable at the time.
