Description: "This catalogue raisonne of Richard Parkes Bonington's oil and water color paintings represents the first attempt to establish and present the artist's complete known oeuvre. Drawing on twenty-five years of research, Patrick Noon catalogues, analyzes, and reproduces 400 artworks now indisputably attributed to Bonington. Many of these paintings have never before been published." "The book sets Bonington's achievement in the context of the intellectual, social, and artistic ferment of high romanticism in Paris and London, and it shows the profound effect of his style on his friend and contemporary, Eugene Delacroix, and many others. Noon's detailed and accurate study will inform all future discourse on Bonington and his remarkable legacy."--Jacket.
