George Lambert 18th Century Bucolic Landscape View Painting Oil on Canvas

About the Item

George Lambert (1700 - 1765) Bucolic landscape with characters Measures: Oil on canvas, 50 x 74 cm Frame 59 x 84 cm George Lambert with Richard Wilson is recognized as one of the greatest interpreters of English landscape painting. Lambert was born in Kent and studied art with Warner Hassells and John Wootton, soon drawing attention to the quality of his painting, which focuses on landscape production and genre scenes. Lambert also gained an excellent reputation as a production designer, initially working for Lincoln's Inn Fields Theater, in London, under John Rich. When Rich moved to the Covent Garden Theater, Lambert enlisted the assistance of Amiconi and together they achieved perfection in the creation of sets. Lambert was part of William Hogarth's circle and was a member of the society of young artists that met at the Old Slaughter's tavern on St Martin's Lane in London. In 1755 Lambert was part of the committee of artists which proposed the founding of a royal academy of the arts in London. He was a member of the Society of Artists of Great Britain, exhibited with them in 1761 and the following three years, and in the same period contributed to the Academy's exhibitions. In 1765 he and other members separated and formed the Incorporated Society of Artists of Great Britain, of which he was elected first president. Hogarth considered Lambert a rival of the famous French landscape painter Claude Lorrain (1600-1682), in particular with regard to the use of soft light to unify the scene. Although he has never visited Italy, he was inspired by the classical tradition of landscape painting, as can also be seen from the present painting depicting a bucolic idyll taken from the Virgilian tradition and from the genre that developed in Italy with the Grand Tour and the foreign painters who arrived. in the Peninsula. Examples of this kind can be seen in the Landscape preserved at Tate Britain in London, in the View of Dunton Hall (Sotheby's, 2005), the Landscape with Shepherds (Denver Art Museum), the Arcadia (Christie's, 2016), finally Diogenes at the Victoria & Albert Museum .
