Adriaen van Ostade (1610-1685) was one of the most
prolific Dutch artists of the 17th century. Trained in the studio of
Franz Hals, he became well-known for his lively genre paintings of
peasants, domestic and agricultural work, and the trades. Later,
influenced by the style of Rembrandt, he employed a warmer palette and
deeper chiaroscuro effects, which is the style of these works. He is
represented in important museum collections around the world including
the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Louvre and the Hague.
Anthony Walker (1726-1765) was a British draftsman
and engraver often employed by Boydell. An English Printmaker/Artist
who was born in 1726 and died in 1765. He lived in England. Many of his
works can be viewed at the Tate Gallery in London. He was also a
renowned draftsman. He served an apprenticeship to John Tinney, who
produced many tographical plates. Much of his early signed work were
engravings after his own drawings for the book trade. Later, he became
a sought-after engraver of large single-issue prints, including five
after Old Master paintings for John Boydell (1719 - December, 1804) who
was an English publisher, noted for his reproductions of engravings (He
also became Lord Mayor of London.)
John Boydell (1719-1804) was a successful and
influential printseller and engraver. He also encouraged the
development of engraving in England with, among other things, his
prints illustrating scenes from Shakespearean plays. In 1773, his
nephew Josiah Boydell (1752-1817) became his business partner and later
his successor, trading as J. & J. Boydell.The best printer for many

George Lambert, English
landscape and scenery painter born in
1710 (or 1700?). Died on 30 November (or 30 or 31 Jan?) 1765:
.. A student of Warner Hassels (fl 1680–1710), portrait painter
in Godfrey Kneller’s circle.Lambert’s earliest dated
painting, Classical Landscape with Two Figures (1723), already shows
the influence of the landscape painter John Wootton. From 1726 Lambert
worked in London as a scene painter at Lincoln’s Inn Fields
Theatre; he followed the impresario John Rich to Covent Garden Theatre
in 1732 and continued to work there until his death. In 1735 he was a
founder-member of the prestigious Beef-Steak Club, an association of
actors, men of letters and artists, among them William Hogarth and
Rich. He was also involved in clubs and movements organized by artists
to improve their professional standing and supported Hogarth’s
efforts in 1735 to establish artists’ legal copyright over their
engraved work. — Samuel Scott was an assistant and Jonathan
Skelton a student of Lambert. Lambert was the
first British-born artist to specialize in landscape painting.
Previously, this was dominated by Dutch and Flemish artists. Landscape
painting developed in order to supply landowners with scenes of their
houses, estates and sporting activities. But during the eighteenth
century, poets and painters began to explore the appeal of the
landscape in a more general way. Lambert was
a friend of Hogarth and Samuel Scott, and a respected member of
London's artistic community. He was the first native-born painter to
devote himself entirely to landscape, both classical and topographical.
