Robert Thew (1758 - 1802) was a British line and stipple engraver, and a one time basis, acted as historical engraver to the Prince of Wales. Henry Fuseli (1741-1825) was an Anglo-Swiss painter, draughtsman, writer and collector of Old Master prints. He was classicallly educated and held a particular interest for literature which often extended into the themes of his work. Fuseli was encouraged by Sir Joshua Reynolds to paint, but was never academically, nor technically trained. He settled in England in 1779, and became the Professor of Painting at the Royal Academy twenty years later. He made several contributions to Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery and opened a gallery dedicated to Milton in 1799. |
