Synopsis
Excerpt from Recollections of a Court Painter
Cifully overlooked by the indulgent reader. Unlike some of my political friends, I have never learnt the art of sitting on a fence, more over being an independent-minded person, that position would not be agreeable to me. I tell my story with frankness and candour, exactly as I would relate it to a sympathetic friend, who having enjoyed my hospitality patiently endured his host's loquacity. The early period of my life passed in Florence, enriched by the corre spondence with which Her Royal Highness the late Duchess of Teck honoured me, I sub mitted for corrections or abridgments to Her Majesty the Queen. I had several interviews with the Duke of Teck on Her Majesty's behalf, and as now published, his wishes, corrections and abridgments have been faithfully carried out.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In this memoir, the author regales us with colourful tales of his life as a bohemian artist in Paris, Florence, London, Morocco, and New York, during the late 19th and early 20th century. Hailing from Ireland, he fondly recalls his early studies in Cork, but this book primarily recounts his experiences abroad, where he was inspired by the art, people, and places he encountered. From the mischief of his student days in Paris to his friendships with notable figures, such as Oscar Wilde, and his work for royalty, this book showcases the author's remarkable journey. Through his witty and self-deprecating accounts of his adventures and artistic growth, he provides a vivid tapestry of Europe's art world in its bohemian heyday. His story is filled with charming anecdotes and insights into the creative process, making this an enchanting book for art enthusiasts and lovers of bygone eras alike.
