J. R. Herbert : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Rogers Herbert
John Rogers Herbert (23 January 1810 – 17 March 1890) was an English painter who is most notable as a precursor of Pre-Raphaelitism. ==Early career==
John Rogers Herbert was born in Maldon, Essex. In 1826, he moved to London to study at the Royal Academy. However, after the death of his father in 1828, Herbert was forced to leave the Academy school and began painting professionally — mostly book illustrations and portraiture.〔. 〕 He was successful in his early career, even painting a portrait of Princess Victoria in 1834. However, he was not satisfied with mere money-making portraits and illustrations. His early sketches predict his later interest in larger historical subjects with challenging moral themes and complex compositions. His early subjects were romantic, and many are taken from Venetian history. His work exhibited at the British Institution and the Royal Society of British Artists had titles such as: ''The Plain Gold Ring'' (1832), ''A Lady Watching the Stars'' (1834) and ''Guilt and Innocence'' (1834).〔Algernon Graves, ''The British Institution 1806–1867'', London, George Bell and Sons, 1908.〕 Herbert's first major success was ''The Appointed Hour'' (1835), depicting a melodramatic scene in which a Venetian man lies murdered at the place appointed for a tryst with his lover. The work became a popular engraving.〔Hilary Guise, ''Great Victorian Engravings'', Astragal, 1980.〕 Herbert followed it with other dramatic subjects such as ''Captives Detained for a Ransom, by Condottieri'' (1836) and ''Death of Haidee'' (1838).
